Someone gave me some helpful advice about clearing NVRAM via  DIP 
switch  4, and I *thought* that had done the  trick  thismorning. 
However,  on trying any of the window options, the  response  was 
sluggish or non-existent. 

Now  the  symptoms  are the same as before, ie  just  the  'can't 
connect  to capture driver'. On exiting Windows, I get a  PROGRAM 
message saying that if I close the application...blah blah blah.. 
but  I can't do anything, and have to hit reset or power off  and 
on. Exiting windows from anywhere other than Premiere is fine  so 
long as I have not been in Premiere, so I think it has  something 
to do with releasing use of the driver..

I'm  going  to  try  another board in the  morning.  but  in  the 
meantime,  I'd like to hear from any other Pentium system  owners 
who have tried the RT-300 Videoblaster.

Is there any software which can check out what's in a slot?

Can you give some more details? I may have to return it today?

Yes - tried and failed - get shut and stick to Miro.
