OK - I've banged on the new version with extra debug messages and it still
locks up, but without any messages! I can only conclude that the 486MB BIOS is
iffy. I haven't tried any other slots in the MB, but have tried various PCI
settings, all to no avail. I have swapped the de0 and the rl0 between
machines, and the rl0 is happy in it's new home - hasn't fallen over, although
it's netpipe performance sucks with very small packets. I think we can write
this one off as a faulty PCI implementation on the 486 motherboard. Thanks for
your patience & time.
