They are IBM 730-P90's with a 3COM 3C509B-TP (with parallel processing) interface cards. (ASSY 03-0021-201 REV A). The probe is finding the card at 0x300, reports it is in test mode, then says the EEPROM failed to come ready, which causes a return value of 0xffff for the PROD_ID, and then the card is ignored. I tried changing the delays that others have suggested, with no help. This is with 950412.snap. I suspect that 3com has 'improved' the card such that a driver change is needed. I can help test out changes if anyone has some ideas of what to try. Jim
