Hi,
the FRU is 74G0865, it's the upper one of Aredent's page: https://www.ardent-tool.com/NIC/ES32.html
and I will try the updated RefDisk.
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
And of course there will be more questions, different topic, therefore different thread.
Cheers Steffen/2

Oh, what is the ES32's FRU or P/N?
Try turning off streaming, if it was enabled.

Might be the P70's refdisk needs to be updated to the latest SC.EXE?
Downlevel SC.EXE might not be able to successfully configure the
later ES32.

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?

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