There was a problem where the ed driver would always read the soft configuration of the card, even when the card was jumpered to be at a different address. Therefore, the ed0 driver was changed so that it didn't read gratuitously from the NVRAM on the card, and went with it's hard coded values instead. If you use an irq of `?' in your configuration file, or specify ``irq ed0 -1'' to userconfig (boot the kernel with -c), your card should work as normal. It might not have been in your floppy set, but this is now documented in the hardware guide (section 4), and should probably go in the FAQ also, as it looks like it will become one. Gary
