Greetings: FWIW we "wimps" <grin-to-Steven> have used SMC-Ultra ISA
cards exclusively for years and they are on every one of our
machines, Slackware 3.XX thru 8.0 and we've only had to invoke
'modprobe smc-ultra' for perfect results as long as the jumper was on
0x300, irq 10.. On some machines with PCI problems we had to use
SMC's Dos software to flash the cards eprom to another irq..
Since the new moboards have NO ISA slots we're concerned that,
possibly in the future, we wont be able to use our thin net coax
cable lashup.. Come to think of it we're still using a WD8003 in one
machine.. Hey it's 10mbs..:^)
Interesting thread.
Cheers,
Hal - in Terra Alta, WV - Slackware GNU/Linux 8.0 (2.4.13)
