Things are going a little better now that I've gotten rid of my ethernet/modem multifunction card and replaced them with separate ethernet/modem pcmcia cards. Unfortunately, even though I am setting sio0 to IRQ 4 and port 0x3F8 for the new modem card (Hayes Accura 56k), the probe can't seem to find anything at 3F8. Since I want to install the OS via FTP, I'm pretty much stuck unless it recognizes the modem. (By the way, the modem works fine under Windows95, and I don't think that I have any conflicts with that IRQ or port number). I tried the 'PAO' version of the boot.flp in hopes that it would have a better time in recognizing my modem. Instead I got hundreds of errors like this Error: D:0x0 C:56 H:1 S:3 in the initial booting steps (sometimes the C and S numbers changed). Any ideas where I can go from here?
