Because of the CRAPPY Award BIOS that I was using, I was unable to run the 2940UW on that board without doing some real major overhauling (rebuilt the flash BIOS). Is the 2842 a PNP card? If it is, you might want to try to disable all the ports on your board and make sure that your floppy is _NOT_ in conflict with whatever the PNP on your board is trying to setup your card as. wuff, andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-aic7xxx" in the body of the message
