I do not know if you are addressing this to me, or David Beem, but I
will chime in just incase it is for me.
>From my experiences in developing various drivers for MCA adapters
under NT, I will answer "no." This is due to the different way
drivers scan their expansion buses for adapters. PCI drivers scan
completely different from the way MCA drivers do. Some drivers, like
the one I am working on with Ryan A., are written smart
enough to scan multiple buses (in this case, it scans
ISA, EISA, MCA, and PCI), but I have found that to be extremely
rare.
If you email me the driver, I will examine it with the powers on my
computer and try to make a definitive answer either way.
