I had the 4018 and the SIIG from a year ago (or more) when I was looking for cards that worked with EPP, but couldn't get them to work. Recently finding the extended register and a way to set the ECR to EPP was the break I needed. So I dusted off the old cards and Eureka, they worked. The 4008 and 4018 have the same 1888 chip but with some different markings beside the 1888 and different vendor information in lspci -v. The 4008 is a single port card and the 1888 chip has a series of pins that are not connected that the 4018 dual port does have running to the second port. It would be interesting to try to wire up the unconnected pins to see if another port is there, but it would take a fair amount of effort, and probably is, for my soldering skill at least, too risky. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
