I have an all charge card in one of my machines (Northgate 20 mhz 1 wait state 80286 "super micro") and have had major problems with the unit when the system was running a 2372b set at the secondary address (C800) due to the fact that the machine was running with a VGA monitor. The ACC worked great when the system was running with the controller set at the primary address (CC00) when running EGA - but for some reason the ACC didn't work well with the 2372 installed at C800. -- Larry Snyder uucp:iuvax!ndcheg!ndmath!nstar!larry The Northern Star Usenet Distribution Site, Notre Dame, IN USA
