Then, you might need some kind of driver to use the card. Not implying that those drivers exists, though, just that you would need something to make the card recognized by the system. For those that used the Asante EN-SC (which was basically Ethernet over SCSI) for Macs without Ethernet or PCMCIA slots (like the PowerBook Duos), you had to install a driver so that the TCP/IP control panel would recognize the device as an Ethernet interface. -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
