I can advise you that the Digiboard can be greedy to say the least with base memory and that if not very careful it will conflict with video card base memory causing a conflict. This is merely a suggestion for what its worth, but it may well be worth changing the dip switches on the DigiBoard to experiment with alternative addresses to d0000. If I recall - I had a video conflict at this address and found that e0000h solved the problem. Good luck anyway. ___________________________________ Adrian Cooper | apc@enterprise.net Enterprise PLC | http://www.enterprise.net Leading Internet Services in the British Isles.
