Thank you kindly, I'm going to have to look into this. I know it isn't the FastEthernet+UltraSCSI you mention, because this is 10Mbit Ether and Fast SCSI. I don't even think PCI was a dream when this box was out. Come to think of it, it did have "AMD", not NCR, stamped on top. :-) I think my problem was that the EISA config threw the port ranges way off from 'normal'. > Please send me a verbose boot message log (boot with "-v"), > if you can't get both the Ethernet and SCSI functionality to > work. Will do. I might have to do some SCSI recabling anyway to get our tape drive off the same bus as the HD, so another SCSI bus I can plug into will be a major plus.
