Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately... there are only 8 dip switches
on the 445C, and they're all documented. It may be that there are 10 on
the 445S. 

The eight are:

	1-3	i/o port address	330
	4	VLB speed		>33MHz
	5-7	BIOS address		DC000
	8	Floppy enable		On

Other cards: SMC Elite Ultra, no name VGA, and an IDE Multi I/O card
(floppy and IDE disabled) for serial and parallel ports. I wouldn't have 
thought any of these should present a problem.

There's a firmware configuration program called AutoSCSI which lets you 
set a load of stuff - if someone knows what the function of DIP switch 10 
should be, then I can try to map that onto the settings I can change.

So - What is DIP switch 10 supposed to do? In fact, it would help to know 
what the other 9 are supposed to do, too, because that would help 
eliminate some things.
