Then when I went to the PnP ports it didnt respond to any of them!! So I have to ask, because the only way I can init it is via the dos driver that opti wrote, and by neither the PnP method or via the proprietry ports, how do you do it then with no DOS driver. My best guess is that my opti card has been programmed in firmware to only respond to a certain sequence or set of ports or init sequence, and that opti ain't gonna tell anyone. regards, chris -- Christopher Day, The reman, Loosecannon, Mortis, The Flatliner E-Mail the_reman@hotmail.com Homepage http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Lair/1218 when the rain/when the children reign/keep your conscience in the dark melt the statues in the park - Fall On Me ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
