Yes.  I just read my post a few minutes ago and figured this question
would be comming!  It was 3:20AM, I was a bit to brief in my hurry to
get home :-).


On another note.... I tried to get the cards to co-exist in the system
this morning, and low and behold it seems TEKRAM has royally screwed
up in thier BIOS.  The bios on my TekRAM-390F(875) tries to probe my
Acculogic PCIport-20(825) card and barfs with an eeprom checksum error.

So I said fine, let me try with the 875 and an older biosless/eepromless
810A card, well, the TekRAM bios again finds the old 810, and barfs on
eeprom checksum errors  (well, natural it does, there is no eeprom on
that card!).

I'll have to jumble things around and see if I can find away around
the BIOS problem so that I can do the both sym0 and ncr0 running at
the same time test to build even more confidence in having both
in the kernel.  I can probably disable all the onboard BIOS's and
let the motherboard version of SMDS handle it, but I am not sure
my current test motherboard BIOS has that in it :-(.

I'll put a tech call into TekRAM tomarrow and see what they have to
say about this.
