No, not if everything is implemented to the same spec. However, as you
probably have guessed, with your potpourri of hardware this is not the
case.

I didn't suggest that you do. It's purpose it to support ISA cards in a
PCI environment. Another duck-duster issue.

I've never paid a penny for the ones at the mfg sites. The 3rd party
stuff is only for seriously old hardware where for some reason you can't
change out the MB. In any case, given the number of hours you've been at
this, $100 would be a cheap fix.

>Who needs specs when you've got hardware? :)))

I would agree with that, even if I am being quoted out of context.
