Hmmm - I didn't think that the 509 would even work in eisa mode at all in the isa bus - one of the traps with that card was that if it was configed in eisa mode and you didn't have an eisa machine around to unconfig it in you were hosed.

Is it > that simple? Actually it sounds like he's using a 3c509 in EISA mode in a non-EISA machine. It sounds like the EISA bus code isn't checking to see if a card is enabled or not before it attaches it. (checks) Yep, thats it. -- | Matthew N.
