Can you tell me what | board it is? I expect to get doc this week or next. I've requested it via our contact.

Maybe I haven't checked that. I could see what it shows up. On one of the floppies they have a com file to setup the card. I may try to disassemble it and figure out what it does (it's only 977 bytes). I tried running it under DOS and then rebooting with FreeBSD and that didn't help. | Take all of that with a grain of salt, I'll know the right questions | to ask once I look over the code tomorrow. Any ideas are helpful. Doug A.
