The motherboard isn't likely to figure significantly in the equation here, although the BIOS might. To get a 509 working, you need to turn off PnP with the DOS configuration program. There are also some conflicts with other PnP cards even then; you may want to shuffle back and forth until you isolate the problem. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
