   IBM MCA Etherstreamer32 in my PS/2 P70

   Hi,   
      
   I dug out my old P70, it booted right up. Of course, Floppy is dead, a   
   proper fix is underway. In the meantime, I hooked up an 2.88 MB Floppy   
   which worked.   
      
   Now I want to show my p70 the Internet, and I bought an Etherstreamer32   
   Card. Using the P70 reference disk, I could copy the Etherstreamer32 ADF   
   etc. files to to the P70 reference disk. Unfortunately, once I installed   
   the card and powered the system on, the hard drive spins up, but the   
   screen stays off. Pressing ESC Ctrl Break etc. also do not help.   
   Booting with a Floppy also doesn't work, same symptoms. I examined the   
   board, I cannot see any damages.   
      
   Anybody got an idea to get the network card running?   
      
   Cheers/2

   and soon OS/2 Warp will be on the machine...
