Marion, It appears to be a Hardcard 40 for an XT slot. Quantum was quite prompt in sending a manual. And I didn't even specify urgent on the voicemail order. Wonder of Wonders! They even spelled my name correctly! The data on page A-2 says it takes BIOS address C8000H (CA000H for a 2nd one), DMA channel 3, IRQ5, and ports 320H-323H (324H-327H for a 2nd one). Only the EMM386.SYS memory driver is causing a problem. The rest runs fine. Once EMM386.SYS loads access to the files on the hardcard is lost. Consequently, I believe it to be an upper memory conflict of some kind. I've called Novell tech support, and Tim has left the incident report number open for me. I need to find my MSDOS 5.0 diskettes to try its memory manager. Since I've ordered the Novell 7 upgrade, its manager may work better. If you have details, please let me know.
