I had no trouble getting a 3C509 working in my ISA system, but I can't seem to make my EISA system recognize the card. I looked through the FAQ but found no help there. What is the trick in making an EISA system recognize an ISA network card? Thanks, -- Thad Phetteplace Network Systems Analyst, Allen-Bradley Co.
