thanks Jiffy - indeed, the V20 would allow to speed things up on this ancient board. The board needs the Faraday 'A' chip for that (included but never used/tested)
Revision... need to open the box for that, next weekend; same for screenshots althought those will be with a digital cam; I suspect it will be a v4 as I got it quite late (from new). It does work fine.
isa cards: had a better look today... might be a waste of space, 2x 8bit 3com ethernet cards... the others seem to be 16bit. I already threw several io boards on the tip-stack.
