X-Surf - Zorro - unable to open x-surf.device

[MikeB]

I have the z2-dp8390.mni driver, but im not using Miami deluxe just miami.

I have tried but does not work.
Strange thing is the TestCard shows the card, other config shows the card and the hub shows the ethernet communicating.
But Miami and Genesis dont seem to detect the x-surf.device.

Yep checked that as well.

Nope

How can the bitmap on the hard drive effect the ethernet card?

I'm using PFS3 which has built in defrag and repair.

The author is helping me with the x-surf, thanks for all your help guys.

Only sad thing is i managed to blow my prelude card, the x-surf clock port caused the problem.
My mistake ...

ah! with the mni-driver everything works fine,
i dont have to reboot anymore, a longstanding
(3 years) problem solved great! thanks guys!

are there any drawbacks with the mni-driver
compared to the x-surf.device?
