I am unsure if one can put an M7891 into a slot that has no NPG jumper installed, so I always use slot 3 for this card in the DD11-CF. I would have to check, or whether I can put this card into a DD11-B or a slot without the NPG installed. > > typing anything kills the CPU and I have to restart the system.. > > Sorry, need exact details: after the '!' prompt, anything you type kills > the system on the first character?

When I type say rlunix or foobar or whatever and hit enter, the prompt returns to the next line and the CPU stops. The system crashes, unresponsive, requiring restart from the front panel. Bill
