Everything now working ok, thanks a million to all for the help & suggestions.
Once I managed to disable the 2940 BIOS & deselect auto IRQ for the PCI slot on 
the mother board the machine booted up ok.
I managed to crimp a short cable to go from the internal scsi connector to the 
outside world.
now i'm getting bored :-), guess i'll have to look for another problem to solve 
on this little network, i'm expecting my broadband kit soon & looking forward 
to playing with that!
Thanks again, 
        Pat.
