So you're telling me that getting EISA to work is HARD and cumbersome ??
I might as well just plug a pci ne2k into it then, there is pci slots,
(and currently a ne2kpci to have access to the machine) Rather than
spending hours waisting my time trying to get a EISA to work that doesnt
work ??

I downloaded a 3com config program for this card, and it says there is no
3com card in the machine, or that i should try it in another slot.
I'm not sure i want to spend that time, it is the only EISA card in the
machine, and 2 pci cards. (dpt scsi, and ne2kpci)
