If you specify an EISA address 0x1xxx or above, then the ISA probe will attempt to attach to it (this was how the old "EISA" probe worked). In fact, with a bit of work, the ep driver could simply attach all of the cards it finds since it can find them all non-invasively. Unfortuantely, FreeBSD's configuration code is sufficiently bogus as to make this impossible, for the moment. > >Atsushi. > > > >-- >Atsushi Murai E-Mail: amurai@spec.co.j >p >SPEC Voice : +81-3-3833-5341 >System Planning and Engineering Corp. -- Justin T.
