Yep. I was following the 1.3 Readme/Release notes as I did the install. The 
pkgadd gave a complaint about the bios prom being protected, but the 
f:\drivers\win95\setup.exe ran fine and claimed to install correctly. It was 
after I rebooted the card that the trouble started. I had hoped that perhaps 
the drivers were failing due to the older version of the bios on board the 
prom. I found 2 patches for 1.3 on Sunsolve as well as an OpenBoot prom update 
for my Blade 100 that I'll install tonight to see if that clears up any of the 
headaches.
