Either boot from floppy or get a cheap NCR53810. I had to try several cards. The ASUS board with the 53810 chip does **NOT** work. I finally found one board which does work. I think its made by symbios. It has little dolphins on the board :-) and works well. best regards, --armin -- "To save energy the light at the end of the tunnel will temporarily be switched off."
