As I just indicated to Jordan by private mail, the nec 273 I have here in my Dell works just fine once you have FreeBSD up and running (I have used it here under 2.1, I dont get read errors) but trying to install from it under windows95 I have never been able to do. I can't even get the ATAPI install floppies to work right. Let me know how I can help further. --------- Christopher R. Bowman crb@eng.umd.edu My home page
