That is true. But the people whom I was communicating with didn't bother
commenting on such a beast. I personally got the impression of "I dont
give a *&#*( if it doesn't work for you, it does for everyone else in the
world." Plus, and I _hate_ to say this, but both my 3c905's and 3c509's
work just hunky dory in the 100+ win95 boxes that I manage :)
As Rick Payne commented, it's probably an SMP issue of losing interrupts
or other such.
