I don't know Michael. The package is in my garage, and I'm about to head for bed,
but I'll check. What I do remember is the manual saying that when used with 386
machines, it might now work at speeds greater than 25 mhz. I'm assuming that it's
a bus speed and not the cpu, so that a 486 (which, evidently, didn't exist when
the card and software were created) shouldn't be a problem. I'll post the results
here.
