Lines: 15 I have finally identified the problem with my 3C503 cards. It was caused by intense stupidity on the part of the luser (that's me). It turns out that the 3C503 has its I/O ports at the same address (300H) as the Wangtek tape controller. I did check IRQ lines and memory addresses 'til I was blue in the face, but I never checked the port addresses because, for some reason, I was convinced that idmkunix and friends would complain about any conflicts. Well, they don't. I've moved the Wangtek's ports down to 288H and the 3C503 is happy now. -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc. campbell@bsw.com 120 Fulton Street wjh12!redsox!campbell Boston, MA 02146
