(In case of you could borrow one). I bought an ASUS SC-200 card, and it is working perfectly. No errors, no problems, just a perfectly working scsi system :-). Bus 0, device 8, function 0: SCSI storage controller: NCR 53c810 (rev 18). Medium devsel. IRQ 15. Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=64. I/O at 0x6100. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0800000. thanks for your help. it would never have occurred to me that an old PCI card might be incompatible with a new PCI motherboard. craig -- craig sanders -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
