As I mentioned in a separate reply: there's a LOT he hasn't told us
about his hardware config, so we've had to make some GUESSES in our
advice. Heh, does his system see the two cards? How much does get
set up? It's kind of hard to help someone if they don't give just a
little bit more info. Lots of funky things to do depending on the hardware
mix. What is seen now?

Can't say I disagree, though, with Bill's suggestion that sometimes it's
easier and cheaper to just punt and buy another card with today's
commodity prices (~$20-$30).
