Date: 3 Jul 1995 00:17:28 UTC Lines: 13 I've been having some trouble with my ze card lately. The symprom is that it occasionally will quite simply wedge the net. I had it set to 0x280, 9, 0xd8000. I decided to move everything around, so I set it to 0x300, 11, 0xd4000. I suspect, however, that the problem might simply have been attempting to make use of IRQ 9, which I believe has some other use in ISA PCs. Anyone have any words of wisdom on this subject? -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "[The Democrats] turned the N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | safety net into a hammock." +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | URL: http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/ | -- Phil Graham
