Thierry,

I think the fore_dnld command should look like:

fore_dnld -r -d /etc/pca200e.bin

I added  "/pca200e.bin" above and to the appropriate line in the rc.atm 
file.  At least, it doesn't hurt, because I got my configuration working.

You might also want to check for a Compaq BIOS update. I had a DEC FDDI 
card once that "sort of" worked until I updated the BIOS on the Dell 200Mhz 
PC (I suspect a PCI bus error).

Finally, the MD5 signature for the pca200e.bin file I used was:

MD5 (/etc/pca200e.bin) = 2dc52f6d1c1180e596704cf9018e6eb6

Good luck!

Bill Cerveny
