How do you get the cards running in 32-bit mode? > yes, the hardware pcmcia hardware is 16bit. i think the person above is referring to the driver being a 32-bit OS driver.... in other words, the windows kernel does not have to drop out of 32bit protected mode (and into 16bit "real" mode) on a 386/486/Pentium every time it wants to do I/O with the ethernet board. (of course, Linux is "32-bit" throughout and never did any junk like this in the first place, but then Linux never tried to run on a 286 like Win31) --------- Todd Tannenbaum CAE Model Advanced Facility email: tannenba@engr.wisc.edu ph: 608-262-3118
