As am I. I've also gotten an NE2000 ISA 10mbps network card to be detected and work under `ifconfig', but forgot how to deal with multiple network cards, so I didn't actually get it hooked up to the network. I've got a 3com 3c597 EISA card in there at the moment, but I think it's cooked, since it's MAC Address reports itself as all ff's. I'm also hunting for an EISA Mach32 video card to see if maybe on the offchance, it's possible to build a VESA Compatible framebuffer for the system. That will prove to be an interesting experiment.

So you're the first to try an ISA card on the I2. I must say I'm quite pleased it worked ! :-)
