- Hi,
-
- From my experience with this board - I think that
- this board works only if the address is at 330 !!!
-
- Please correct me if I am wrong.

- According to my friend at Adaptec, and their BBS, you can change the port
- address, but doing so will require that you burn a new ROM (binaries for
- ROM are available from the Adaptec BBS). I need to also change my
- address soon, since it conflicts with my MPU-IPC Midi card which must use
- ports 330 and 331.
