You will either have to get DEC's DEPCA board, or possibly a newer 3COM card. I've heard that DEC is now supporting the newer 3COM's but have not confirmed that. I don't know why the 501 is not compatible with the VGA, but the DEPCA uses the same addresses as the VGA, and can't be moved, so it's out. -- =============================================================================== Scott A.
