Maybe your card is not configured at the right io and irq.  Did you boot
into dos and tun
the setup program?

Yeah, I've tried that several times;(  That box is laying on the bed where
my mom-in-law will be sleeping and I'm trying again on one of the dual
proc P90's. Mdk8.0 just failed to see the embedded (mobo) interface and
the dual procs. I believe it's going to finish the install though. I have
6 3Com509 ISA nics to play with, more hardware on the way bound for the
attic until my wife chills out from Christmas stress.

Interesting project but the ISA cards are kicking my mental ass, what
little there is of either physical or mental ass.
