This is an area where I recommend the use of simple tools like pencil and
paper. Sometimes these message go to lantran.log. If not, there's always
a option of a well timed pause key. It's not perfect, but it's better
than slow eyes and bad memory.

It's not, but I won't bother pointing you at the applicable specs.

Being limited to tangible slots would really limit the usefulness of PCI
devices.

>Alas, eCS won't take it so casually.

As it should be.

There is probably a valid reason for this, but I don't yet have enough
information to be draw sensible conclusions.

That's probably the best way. I find it easiest to work with current data
while having prior data to us for cross checking.

It would be short column and it would repeat lots of Google hits. All
that's needed is to run the installer off the CD. I never remember the
exact name because it's easy to look up.

Lot's of MBs have dual NICs these days.

That is does. :-)

No at all. The installer is very different under the covers.
