Well, the problem, see, is I don't know exactly how to identify which cards I need, which is why I was asking people to describe to me the ones the had. :) I'm not interested in getting stuff off eBay anyway. eBay is the debbil. And not in a good way. It looks like I have an offer for a bunch of stuff, so for now it seems Project Evil's hardware needs will be met. > I was also wondering if Project Evil will > suport the Compaq 32-bit NetFlex-2 controllers?

Project Evil only supports cardbus, PCI and (to some small extent) PCMCIA. I have plans to make it support USB. But EISA? Sorry, can't help you. Nobody makes Windows XP drivers for EISAbus devices. :/ -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= you're just BEGGING to face the moose =============================================================================
