My general response to your SMC query is this: disable PnP both in the bios, and in the device. We configured several systems at CMU (and other places) where Win95 and FreeBSD would disagree on which plugging and playing should occur. Use your software config program (ezconfig or ezstart, most likely) to disable PnP and configure permenant non-conflicting settings. For some reason people have to run the ezconfig save twice to get it to save sometimes? Then reconfigure BSD/Win95 to match this settings. I'm not sure how much effect changing the CMUS PnP settings has, but it prevented my CMOS from deciding to switch around my comm ports for no reason I could determine (I'm on a Gateway 2000 p120.) -Robert ---- Robert Watson (rnw+@andrew.cmu.edu) * Double major: IDS/CS * H&SS http://www.watson.org/ robert@fledge.watson.org
