  I E800 mentioned at the bottom of the main AutoSCSI screen near the 
bottom.  I also see it when I choose "Select Adapter".  My card may be 
newer....  I also have option on *not* using a ISA IO port at all!

  I need to leave the jumpers off, or it won't boot.  My motherboard 
insists on autoconfiging the card :) (nice to have PCI that works!).

  All this did for me, was detect it as EISA device!  Performance showed 
no changed.  I wouldn't worry about it unless your 946C is a slow as mine!
