Hi, Karen:
I'm struggling with Win95, too! The address and interrupt you seek is
dependent on the setup of the card. It may have physical jumpers (they did
last year) or it may be setup with software (this years model.) Either
way, you must be sure the IRQ and base address of the CD and the N2000+
card are different. Poor Win95 and its Plug N Play can't handle
a mix of PNP/non-PNP cards.
Cordially,
R*
