EISA (u. GSC) "slots". Since learning EISA/ISA busses are "PCI-like", the answer is "yes". And if this answer is right, then I'll put back the "multi-bus type" support in pci.h. I don't get how EISA would use these services (perhaps just the IRQ stuff?) but I'll trust you on that. > For example, can I take a Dino-on-a-card card and put it into a box > which does not use Dino as native-to-PCI bridge ? Yes - but I'm only aware of K/T class "form factor" (shape/size). These won't normally fit in the A/B/C/D class boxes which also have GSC slots. Any other HP person know if any card-mode Dino's were made for workstations? (Next week I'll see if I can wedge the K-class one into a workstation anyway) grant Grant Grundler Communications Infrastructure Computer Operations +1.408.447.7253
