I've been persevering, but not with a great deal of success. I've recently come by an MSI KM2M Combo Series motherboard and an AMD Athlon XP2000+ processor. I have most of it working except 2 things ... 1. Does anyone know of any drivers which will work with an AC'97 sound card based on a Realtek ALC650 codec on a motherboard with a VIA KM266 chipset and a VIA VT8235 chipset? I don't know what most of that means - I've taken it from the motherboard handbook. The best I can see so far are drivers which will work with the Realtek ALC650 codec on a motherboard with an Intel chipset. These drivers cause a trap on my system. 2. The LAN card is a VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter. I have it working (sort of) with some VIA drivers I found via the Nicdetc.CMD utility. The book says I have, "VIA VT8235 integrated MAC + VIA 6103 PHY". It only runs at 10 Mbits. I'd really like to know if I can these 2 services working properly.

Besides the Realtek driver for the ALC650, which has been known to have problems with shared resources (IRQs), the UNIAUD driver will also work with that chipset.

Where you have the line : CONNECTIONTYPE = "AUTOSENSE" above, at the end of protocol.ini change this to read: CONNECTIONTYPE = "_100??????" i.e. the one without the "D" for duplex - Brian quoted the entries for 10 & 100 mbps for full-duplex [the ones ending with a 'D'] and ditto for the half-duplex settings [without the D]. you have to force the system to recognise that it's a 100mbps connection by specifying the entry that starts with _100. just do the edit [with e.exe] and then save the protocol.ini.

You'll find out what everyone else did in similar/identical circumstances. Your very question about using stuff you've already downloaded came up on the ecomstation group Yahoo list in the past couple of days and Chuck McKinnis, the former IBM'er who developed eCSMT was the one replying. To subscribe automatically, send an e-mail with subject of "subscribe" to < eComStation-usubscribe at yahoogroups dot com >, and you'll get the information on how to join up. It's pretty painless, once you have a Yahoo ID, and that *doesn't* mean you'll get spammed.

Run the pci.exe in it and it will pump out everything you need to know and more. You'll need to pipe it out to a file. -- Regards, Mike Failed the exam for -------------------- MCSE - Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert -------------------- [ISP blocks *.exe attachments] [Please use zipped versions of above] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 20 ==========================** Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 23:50:39 +1100 (AEDT) From: "John Angelico" Subject: Re: Loooooking for a SCSI scanner On Thu, 22 Jan 2004 21:03:20 +1100, Ed Durrant wrote: >I use a Canon FB620S with very good results and reliability with TAME.
