Furthermore, text-mode operation shouldn't be a problem in any case. I think there might be some auto-probes for other equipment on a port address that the Mach card uses, that cause the card to misbehave. Or there might a PCI configuration problem, although I checked and double-checked my BIOS settings. E-Mail: geert@sun3.iaf.nl Phone: +31-53-4303054
