I've installed atleast four computers with 3c509 cards (I presume that
this includes all of the 3c509 family) without any problems at all. Exept
for one that did a conflict between it and a soundcard. And ofcourse, I
did install them from the net.

The machines are:

1. a HP Vectra 500 (486dx4/100)
2. a Digital DECpc LPv+ (486dx2/66)
3. a generic P200
4. a generic P100

Mabye I've succeded with having P'n'P disabled in BIOS.
