I managed to find a copy of the Windoze deskscan software, and included were a couple of utilities. One of them, called swtchset.exe, tells me that the switch settings are for what it calls a 'ROM address.' The possible settings, according to the program, are DC000, CC000, D0000, D4000 and D8000. I set the board for DC000 and verified that the deskscan sjii.sys driver can find it. (This is with Lose95.) There's also a program called findport.exe which just prints: Port 280 is available. Port 290 is available. Port 300 is available. Port 310 is available. Port 330 is available. Port 340 is available. Port 348 is available. Port 350 is available. I'm not really sure what this means. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" =============================================================================
