Sharing just pertains to the fact that you can't physically stick both an ISA and a PCI card in that slot. (ISA has it's connector to one side and PCI the other). I've seen this type of problem happen with NT when using a 3Com 3C905 and a graphics adapter. I don't think it has anything to do with the OS. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
