You can set the switches, reboot the system and re-run my program to see if you have hit the right combination. An easier way may be to call your local IBM dealer's service department and ask them if they have the BIOS listings for this newer card and from there you can find the information on what to set the jumpers to. -- ihnp4------\ |------------------------| harvard-\ \ | terminus: | Mr. Video seismo!uwvax!nicmad!brown | The clearing house for | rutgers-/ / | rec.arts.drwho | decvax------/ |------------------------| terminus-----/
