Ben:

The PIC-Master works fine on Pentiums (under Win3.1x and Win95).
Your problem sounds like a PCI/ISA configuration error, or an address
conflict with one of the other cards in your system.

Make sure that the PIC-Master interface card's slot is configured as
an ISA slot, then ensure that the card's DIP switches are selecting
an address space that's unused by your other cards, then run the
PICMASTR.EXE or MPLAB.EXE software and verify (in the "Hardware
Configuration" dialog box) that the software's looking for the
card at the correct address.

If a PIC-Master manual didn't come with your used system, you can
download one from the Microchip web site at:
