Message-ID: <dhawkDH6I2D.5D3@netcom.com> Organization: Decline to State Date: Sat, 28 Oct 1995 21:51:49 GMT Lines: 19 Sender: dhawk@netcom13.netcom.com OK, getting ready to work on the networking and can't find the card. Is the 3Com 10BaseT EISA 579 Network card supported/usable? Could I replace it with a 3Com 3C509? (It's true, I haven't a clue the difference between ISA and EISA.) [Uh, to expand on that: the operating system can't seem to find the card. I can see the card and it's plugged in. Under DOS the card worked.] [update: I've thrown a 3c509 in there and it's working, so I'll use it for a week and then see if I've heard anything on the 579.] Thanks. later, david -- David Hawkins dhawk@netcom.com The state of man: inconstancy, boredom, anxiety. -- Blaise Pascal
