I've been up for much too long... (it's the 13th around here...) - as Terry pointed out, the case for only one bus-master is another. I should look more closely my answeres from time to time... Anyways, I've lived with 3 busmaster cards in a computer (two of them VESA, one PCI) and on another I have not been able to actually get otherwise nonconflicting ISA cards to work. I hope I will be forgiven and the urban legend won't prosper. Sander
