I just had a though about the problem with a non functioning Asante SE/30 card. I once got one to put in a IIsi. In the process of installing it I disconnected the ribbon cable between the two boards. It wasn't until I went to plug it back in that I found Asante had committed the unpardonable sin (to an engineer) of not marking the pin 1 location on either end of the cable. I connected it back as best I could recall. Murphy intervened of course and it was the wrong way. I switched it around and it still didn't work, it had presumably fried when plugged in backwards. When I got the replacement I made a point of diagramming how the cable plugs in and have not repeated that incident. In any event, it's possible your card got similarly fried. IIRC (twenty year old memory) the card shows up and you can configure it and everything but you get no network access. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
