hello!
the problem is that the fddi was built in instead of aui (special-edition kind of thing) since the machine used to be in a cluster (hence also no monitor or keyboard). i was wondering if i could find something more along the lines of the eisa-slot...
Right. The EISA slot can function as a normal ISA slot, so you can stick any old ISA nic into it. The question then is what cards are supported by HP, right?

i don't know if the fddi can be yanked out and replaced by aui or anyhing (haven't opened the machine - yet), but if it can - anybody want to trade?
As my EISA card is a CDDI-card (pretty useless Copper Distributed Digital Interface - lowtech fddi afaik), I need my aui-card myself. But if anybody wants some older 'DDI-technology, I'll donate my CDDI-card to whoever swaps his AUI-card with your FDDI-card.
I guess I'm somewhat less helpfull now than I thought I was, but still. ;-)
Yours,
-Simen
