The 3c509 problems go away if you get out the little dos config diskette and configure the cards seperately to different IRQ's and IO ports. Then edit the config file, set the proper port#, and *add the IRQ to the end of the line*. Do this and it should work fine. If you don't match up the card and the config file you get a lot of very annoying "ef1 found at base xxxx" but it doesn't work:( -- David Miller Usual disclaimers apply
