Sorry; I've got the PVI-486SP3 (note the lack of a `G'); that was the
one I was describing.

Actually, this board is afflicted with the `remove fd1 (the second
floppy which you don't have) in the kernel config file and the
Ethernet will work' bug. This is the oddest problem/workaround
combination I've ever seen, but there you are. I've been using this
board for nearly a year with an SMC Elite-16C card, and except for
the fact that the SCSI driver for the NCR chip isn't quite up to
snuff (though it seems almost perfect now), I'm quite happy.
