So, my question is, how : did you turn off PnP? If it takes some software, what is it, and could : you send/loan/whatever it to me? I've got one of these cards. Couldn't even find it under DOS/Novell until I set an IRQ in the PCI setup of the machine. After that it ran fine. A nice card, I must say. BTW, I set mine to IRQ 10... Now, if anyone could tell me why FreeBSD won't see my PCI bus at all (unless I boot from the install stiffy twice in a row, which then causes the BIOS to claim there's no L2-Cache installed) I'd be really happy. The machine is an Acer Altos 7000/V with a 120Mhz Pentium processor, 128Mb RAM, 4Gb Seagate drive on an Adaptec AIC7870 integrated SCSI controller. The boot process only finds 64M RAM as well... I'm really beginning to hate this machine. Great for playing DOOM on but that's not why I bought it... The local agents, when told what O/S I was running said things like "Do they still make BSD? Is that like Linux?" - I was charmed... Regards, - Sean.
