Most cards do *not* have an "isa compatibility" mode. The exceptions I know of are VGA cards, and the buslogic PCI SCSI controllers. The rest require you to deal with them as PCI devices and/or are so different from their ISA precursors that its imposible to support them this way. >------ >Dave Hayes -- Institutional NETworks - Section 394 -- JPL/NASA - Pasadena CA >dave@elxr.jpl.nasa.gov dave@jato.jpl.nasa.gov ...usc!elroy!dxh > > Being politically correct means always having to say you're sorry. > > -- Justin T.
