I tried to install a NE2K clone (Accton) the other day in my DX2-80. While 
it fitted in okay, the software that came with the card to install and set 
the parameters failed to find the card. A test in another machine confirmed 
that the card is okay. Both the software that came with the card and Win95 
found the card with no problem.

Now the specifics - the failing machine has a Voyetra MPU401 card with base 
address of 330H. There is also a SB16 SCSI-2 card. I have jumpered this card 
so that the MIDI port on it is 300H so it will not conflict with the Voyetra 
card.  Given that the default base address of the NE2K card is 300H also 
could this be confusing the installation program? Am I getting some sort of 
conflict with the SCSI port on the SB16? I cannot remove either the Voyetra 
or SB16 card so am I out of luck or should I be looking at say a 3COM clone 
or something like that?

Thanks for any suggestions on this problem.
