I tried the setup program on windows 95, and it failed to detect the card as well. > Try to work out why the EEPROM hasn't been powered up - could be > a dead card (test it under Windows) or a BIOS thing.

I'll inform the list of any conclustions. Thanks! -- The ill-formed Orange Fails to satisfy the eye: http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~mulix/ Segmentation fault. http://syscalltrack.sf.net/
