I must have VIRTUAL plug & play then. It never found the ethernet card. We upgraded the video and SCSI card to PCI as well and during the boot up, it finds these cards just fine, but not the 3Com card. Todd. ---------- From: Doug White To: Paisley, Todd G.

The PCI bus implements REAL plug & play. It'll be found and configured on startup. If you need to make IRQ changes, you do that through BIOS setup.
