Dave, Configuring EISA systems is a bit more involved than ISA systems. There is still a CMOS setup required, via the usual keystroke during boot sequence. In addition, you must run an EISA configuration program, which is supplied by the motherboard manufacturer. This configuration replaces the setting of jumpers and switches on the motherboard _and_ for all EISA boards. I strongly recommend that you make a bootable floppy disk and copy all the EISA configuration programs and files to it. Then make another copy and leave it inside the case. If you have a problem and can't find that disk, you're SOL. We seem to be in a period of much trouble with graphics cards these days. It seems like almost all the producers are having great difficulty gettings display systems to consistently work right with Windows. I missed the information about the 1 Mb Graphite. What did Jim Carleton say the problem was? Could it be that Terminator II is like what I've been reading in WINNT forum about double-terminating NEC CD-ROM drives? <g> -=Rob=-
