I'm currently running 3.1-RELEASE with NE-2000 clown card at 0x300 and IRQ 2 (AKA 9). As already has been said IRQ 9 is sometimes used by video cards. I believe to signal the blanking so you can write DOS video games without the flickering. Another system is also running 3.1-RELEASE with a Novell/Eagle NE-2000 also at 0x300 IRQ 2. B.t.w. the Novell NE-2000's don't use shared memory. The 0xd8000 adres is for the bootprom, if present. > i've tried all sort of combinations to no avail, > ... > the card works fine in other (win) networked machines. > any advice anyone? You should be able to boot from the install diskettes, edit the params to e.g. 0x300 and IRQ 2 (having set the jumpers on the card to the corresponding positions, of course) and it should work. If not then there is most likely some obscure port address conflict. Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.
