Hi,

Progress, I see.

My bad. They changed the name on me again. It's now called Generic
Support, which you found.

The error message should tell you why I call it GRADD.

Another name change.

I would not call 640x480x16 passable. You purchased a MB with video that
is not well supported by the drivers shipped with eCS 1.2R. So it goes.
Assumptions will do that.

Did you get your ecomstation login problems resolved? If not, let me know
the ticket number and I'll do what I can to expedite a fix.

What you need to do next is download the SNAP drivers from the eCS
website. They are significantly newer than what's on the eCS 1.2R CD. If
you are reasonably lucky, the current drivers will fully support your
video card. If you are unlucky, we will investigate the alternatives.

BTW, is the NIC recognized and working?

Regards,

Steven
