We installed it on various addresses, IRQ's (chaged accordingly in FreeBSD Config), but the system simply does not recognize the board. It keeps saying "ix0 - not found at 0x300". Could it be that this board is not supported? It can't be a conflict, the machine is quite empty (it's a Compaq ProLinea 4-66 with only an Adaptec Controller), and moreover, we tried more IRQ/base address combinations. Another question is what does the Memory address means (which in the config utility is given as 0xD000 and 0x800 long)? Thanks for any ideas, Lix
