I have not followed this discussion in detail, but if you are choosing your own computer to upgrade the XL you must be able to manually define I/O address, IRQ and DMA interrupts for the ISA bus. I tried to use a newer DELL and there was no way to lock out the IRQ which the XL data acquisition PCB requires. This Dell always asigned the needed IRQ to a universal serial port and it could not be made to work as the acquisition computer on the XL. As vendors try to make their systems more plug and play they become more difficult to manually configure. Be sure the system BIOS allows you to block out these hardware settings for the ISA bus. gary Gary Durack University of Illinois Biotechnology Center voice (217) 244-0559 fax (217) 244-0466 durack@uiuc.edu http://www.life.uiuc.edu/biotech
