Thanks to both you and Mauro for your response on this!
I have spare hardrive(s) available for this machine and I'm
in the process of doing a ( from scratch ) new fc3 install.
I really want this card to work and I want to make certain
that something strange did not happen in the install on the
other hard drive.
Thanks again,
Bert

I can give some more info if needed when I get home (we don't have
wireless at work, so I don't have the card with me).
