You may have some trouble getting these to work in some modern motherboards since they weren't fully compliant with the PCI spec, but good luck! It's only the revision A and B boards that were not PCI compliant, and those are now truly ancient. They were more like an ISA board that happened to fit in PCI bus slots. You should be in good shape from a hardware compatibility standpoint so long as you get a hardware revision D, E, or F BT-946C. I'd check with BusLogic to make sure you have the latest BIOS/Firmware revision if you acquire one. Leonard
