It's better to ask a question then ruin a perfectly good installation. Hardware stuff is easy once you work with it a bit. I sort of look at it this way " huh, it doesn't work, guess I have to unplug it" Generally hardware works or it doesn't, it's the software that drives the hardware that you will have issues with. You can reduce the freak-out factor by getting some old hardware and playing with it. Use some ISA hardware that requires setting jumpers and you will have a firm grasp of hardware and what it needs to function. Slap a Token ring card set to 4 mbt in a machine and turn it on connected to a 16mbt Token ring network, then you've arrived in the "I made a mistake" world of hardware ;-) Sam.
