Hey Jim,
Did you boot Windoze since last power cycling? Win98 somehow disables the card.
But you probably know that, having read the same web sites I have about the
Z505S.

It's funny- I had just subscribed to debian-user that very morning, and
asked one question, and for every one I ask I like to try to answer one,
so yours was it. :-)

kernel with
the latest gcc, which is 2.95.2-3.
If no answer by Friday I'll go to to the vger kernel list.
