Thanks Ani, I'll give that a try. I'm guessing that I'll just copy the info about one card so that I'll have the same thing twice, with a different name for each card.
I've been busy verifying that the motherboard didn't have some quirk (it's my old motherboard) that disallowed working with 2 cards. Had to make a temporary install of a competing operating system and I was able to get 2 cards working together. Also discovered I was "cheated" by my Matrox vendor: all 4 cards were to be 8MB cards, but one of them is really a 4MB.
