Sounds totally cool if they ever get it working. Right now I am trying to solve an IRQ problem in Win98. My Zip drive is on one of those PCI parallel cards and it reports as IRQ 10 in windows and LTP2 at IRQ 5 in DOS but is not detected according to MSD. Of course IRQ 5 is what the scanner card is on (HP legacy). Mouse is on IRQ 4, comm 1. I can change the PCI parallel port card address but it tells me nothing about IRQ's which I guess are handled by the PCI. So if I were to change either the scanner or the card what is the best IRQ to change it to? It will have to be another device that does not mind. Timer? KYBD? 1 to 15 are either reserved or taken. The way I found out the conflict since my zip drive is not detected was to install a tape drive on the port and boot. That was were the conflict came in. Before the alternate device was plugged in, no conflict was present but the system would not assign drive letters to the zip drive. The tape drive on LPT1 and the scanner work fine together. I hate problems where it seems the only way out is to change hardware. If I go IDE or SCSI with the zip it might solve things. EC<:-}
