I suggest you go and find the SMC utility disk for your card....simple to
find it online. Then you really should change the IO from 2c0 to something
more common like 300 or 320 AND if you have a sound card or plan to have a
sound card in your system you should change the IRQ from 5 to either 10 or
11 (that asumes 10 or 11 is free(or 7 if you have no printer and you shut
off the printer IRQ - usually done in your bios)).
However if I were you, the first thing I would try is, using the PROPER
module, NOT ne use the smc module.
