With most plug n' play cards there'll be "default values" that are used
by "willies wonder system"8^P if available.....When looking at
documentation if you find the defaults are favorable (ie:pnp ne2000
clone io=0x300 irq=10) the card'll work without a hitch first time
everytime(usually). And most pnp card manufacturers aren't at all shy
about letting one know what the default values are.
In fact most pnp cards that do come with a driver disk have a text file
there listing all usable values with the default(s) being labeled as
such.
I've read this file is used for the actual install, but if a human can
read the thing.....then why not do it???:)
All users of this list should think about this and actually look at any
driver disks looking for latebreaking info....written as some .txt or
.doc file or maybe even a .cfg in there, before declaring your hardware
as "incompatible"...
After all it's saved my butt a few times*grin*
