McGovern" Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Just a couple of FYI's I think I may have left out. Firstly, these are the PCI version cards. Secondly, it appears (having thought more on the drive home) that the delimitation between 'works' and 'doesnt work' seems to be around the 16MB barrier (for instance, my home pentium, were it does work, is a P100 that reports (between base and XMS) just _UNDER 16MB_. I'm assuming its due to the fact that its remapping part of it for other uses. All the machines that don't seem to work have more (usually 32+MB), or report 16MB on startup (doesn't seem to remap memory). Then again, this could be hogwash. -Brian
