It was in the 0606 SNAP and it's in the latest SNAP as well, but I've been unable to make it work on my 3C590 board. It's found during the boot process, but no combination of options seems to bring it to life on my system even though the board and connection work under Win-3.11. Good luck. If you succeed in making it work I'd like to know how you did it. -bob
