Is it possible to make this combination work? it should work fine... just use the nca device driver... the T130B is an 8bit board based on the NCR53C400 or Zilog chips right? I had a similar board that I used for scsi before I got a real scsi card... I'm not sure if the boot.flp has the nca device though... -- John-Mark Cu Networking Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
