Runs fine on 8.6 on my 5300. Make sure you have Open Transport installed and the AppleEnet and Apple built-in Ethernet extensions loaded as well. Possibly the AppleEthernet NB,too. (I don't know, All of those are there on min,as well as the MV driver. The only thing that shows in Extensions manager is the MVW16 Sleep init.) Apple system profiler thinks it's in Nubus slot $D(which is why I think you might need the Apple Ethernet NB) What does System Profiler show you? -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
