Hi, Steve: According to the manual: "If location D0000H is not available in your computer, the suggested address is A0000H. If this address is not available, see the following possibilities:" Then it goes on to list addresses 8000H, 9000H, A0000H, B0000H, C0000H, D0000H, E0000H, and F0000H as possible memory segments, along with why they might _not_ work. It says Iluminit will warn you if E0000H conflicts with BIOS ROM or transient data — is this what happens? My reccomendation is to use the board in the illuminator mode with two 32k buffers at the D0000H address. Even though you say it is impossible to do on your machine, this is the way I've seen it work best most often, and maybe a re-evaluation of priorities will bring you to try this configuration. I use the ADI's supplied by Matrox with much success. Also, the Windows 3.1 drivers and frame-grab software allows me to be extremely productive with the board in Windows, as well as offering near true-color (depending on the software dithering method, it can be almost as good as 24-bit!) 640×480 non-interlaced display. As Gary often says, hardware conflicts are the worst! Somtimes one has to make choices based on their personal priorities. Maybe QEMM could save the day again by excluding and moving memory segments…. Hope this is helpful! Alan
