Right, it didn't work then.

*ding*

I ripped my ISA VGA card out and threw in the PCI VGA card from this other
wreck on my table (a PC). Fired up the AXPpci33. Then I did:
>>> isacfg -init,
>>> init (watch reboot)
>>> add_de205
>>> init (watch reboot)

Poof. When it came up it recognized the card as (I think) ena0. Is
dva0 the floppy drive? Because I don't think my SMC ethernet card shows 
up in SRM (not like I care, my PCI SMC card cost, "like", $5 new about
three years ago). The de205 shows up fine.

When I threw my PCI wide SCSI back in I was shocked to discover that
after all of this messing the SRM recognized the card. Yep, my wide
SCSI card is pkb0. Hot dog!

Thanks for the help.

You know, I'd give you that if I could get the serial ports on this
thing working. I thought I had it, but no ..... Oh, and I figured out
how to get into my "new" terminal server ... except I don't know the
password ....

At least I have enough paint to finish the case.
