Hadn't thought that would be a big issue, but then I didn't tell you that I am only looking for basic text mode or at most 800x600 vga modes as there really isn't a lot of memory on the host and I'd be unlikely to want to run X11 or (gasp) a web browser on it ... :) I was concerned that there may be negative interactions with the comBIOS or some other memory/IO style conflicts which would cause issues ... I've recently decommissioned a PC which used to run the services that this net5501 now handles, but I've now lost a handy console in the machine room and was wondering whether the unused PCI slot could be used for this purpose or whether I should get my dead Wyse 50 terminal running again (which may cost a lot to fix) Regards, Malcolm -- Malcolm Herbert This brain intentionally [EMAIL PROTECTED] left blank _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
