Laurence Chiu (lchiu@zip.com.au) spoke thusly:
: 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.

Could be IRQ conflict too - if the card is softset to whatever IRQ. Your 
Voyetra card should use 9, the SB card 5 or 7 ... plus maybe another one.

BTW, watch the ISA bus speed for that dx2-80 in your CMOS setup. That might 
make the card unrecognizable with an ysettings if it's too fast :)
