PCI must be handled differently (and is handled differently now). The workaround to enter the IO address of a PCI device in UserConfig is a kludge (though the only possibility in pre-2.2 systems, admittedly). The new method is around since: revision 1.1 date: 1996/05/18 17:56:40; author: se; state: Exp; Add support for NE2000 compatible PCI Ethernet cards. The PCI probe is enabled by having an "device ed0 at isa? [...]" config line. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
