I am (waves vehemently)
Had a bugger of a time getting it up at first tho. machine was built
at Vektron and had Award BIOS. Apparently, there is a problem with
the 946C playing nice with everyone after a certain rev. Rod Grimes
can confirm this. I was finally able to get my machine up and going
by using 0xfffc as the ioport.
BusLogic tech support was little/no help at all.
Which was quite surprising. In the past they'd been quite great with
their products & support. Weird. All things change I suppose...
Good Luck (hope you don't need it as nearly much as I did)...
