Didn't even have to hard set an IRQ. I haven't tried the=20 modem yet (I remember something about a patch to sio.c being needed, but I'm not quite there yet ...)=20 I installed from a january snapshot I had burned to CD, then built the NEWCARD kernel (and later cvsupped up to date, rebuilt everything, etc...) =20 It *sure* would be nifty to have "NEWCARD" and "GENERIC" kern.flp images available (would a new mfsroot also be required? I don't think so..) so that one could do net installs w/a laptop, where often you're stuck with floppy *or* CD but not both at once.. -Matt On Thu, 29 Mar 2001 16:01:40 -0500 (EST) Viren R.Shah > wrote: > >>>>> "Scott" =3D=3D Scott Mitchell writes: >=20 >=20 > Scott> This is a 16-bit RealPort we're dealing with, right?
