Now, the MS-Windoze system sporadically locks up. Sounds like the card is broken. I've used an Ultra Pro VLB extensively under FreeBSD 2.0 and it's worked like a charm. (We've also got about a hundred of these at work--we're mostly an AutoCAD shop--and have experienced no problems at all with them.) I'm buying the PCI version for my new system. The card is quite fast, I find (at least under X--it's not nearly as fast under Windows for some reason) and it's quite cheap, too. cjs -- Curt Sampson a09878@giant.rsoft.bc.ca Opinions are mine, Fluor Daniel Wright, Ltd. 604 488 2226 not Fluor Daniel's. 1075 W.
