You don't say which Mac you are using, which does affect the PCI bus configuration. In general make sure the Sonnet card is closest to the 'core' of the computer and the skyline further out. If you have that configuration already, try swapping the order of the cards. If you have a video card, it should be closest in but you might try placing the sonnet closest, video next, and skyline last. This is a low probability of success change, but it is worth the try. -- -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?" Laughter is good medicine for the soul.
