Most likely he has an Intel motherboard which you can indeed disable the CS4232C. At any rate Sujal Patel's PnP stuff should be able also to disable the CS4232c however the BIOS will still reserve the CS4232c's IRQs which translates to wasting IRQ during the BIOS init. So the question now is : what is his make and model for his motherboard. Amancio >From The Desk Of "John T.
