Please can someone tell me that I am doing something wrong because I have all the base address, IRQ's, SLOTS, you name it, I have tried it. Example: Boot from DOS, run the a:\install to make sure that I am on IRQ10 and 0x300 base address. I then boot with a /kernel -c and make sure that my zp0 is going to check it out but I just get 'no card found at 0x300' ARG!!!!! I thought, I could just go down and buy one of these 3c589 cards get my Versa to run FreeBSD with a wonderful PCMCIA (10baseT) but I was wrong. I have gone through the 'search' engine of www.freebsd.org and there is nothing about this type of problem I seem to be having. Maybe the boot.flp is not going to work with the zp driver until I rebuild the kernel and set stuff up? If anyone can spare a few minutes, please let me know via email. blast@crl.com would get to me just fine. thank, blast
