We are !  You probably have a problem with the ethernet card confliting
with the specialix card.   If you have a WD ethernet card or have
installed the driver for one it will stomp on the 0xd000 memory segment
which is the defualt address for the specialix card.   You don;t
specify what sort of system (mca,eisa, at) you are running so I can't
tel you where to move the card to however if you contact specialix
tech support (support at specialix.co.uk) they will be able to help.
