I have a Umax S900 with a Tsunami motherboard. I put in a D-Link 10/100 ethernet adapter and cannot get Apple System Profiler to recognise it. The user manual isn't any use. D-Link provides a MacOS 9 driver for this adapter, but it's not working unless the system can recognise this card. (The card is OK because it was working fine in a PC before.)
The built-in ethernet port of the Umax is actually on a riser card, but I cannot remove it because it also contains the printer and modem ports. I suspect if I can somehow inactivate the built-in ethernet port, the system might recognise the D-Link card. There's probably a jumper somewhere I need to set, but I have no idea where. I've tried deep zapping the PRAM, and pressing the reset button on the motherboard without avail. I've also tried shuffling the D-LInk card around the PCI slots.
Anyone can help please? -- Swee Oon
I've been working with Umax clones for many years. I've never heard of anyone needing to inactivate the built-in ethernet port to get a second card to run. In fact I've used several different ethernet cards over the years for faster Mac to Mac and to PC networking. I continue to use the built in ethernet for cable modem hook up as 10 base ethernet is more then enough bandwidth for broadband.
Changes are you either have driver issues or card issues. Sorry I can't be of more help. Will S
