I fixed it a while ago and it was something I've done in the past a
couple of times when moving cables around and had forgotten about. ;-)
Tomorrow I'll buy & install a 10/100 pci card, move her HD back from
this machine I use to that one, hassle with drivers again, then haul it
back upstairs to its cat-5 plug. monitor et al. The way I look at it is
that for ~$50, I've basically salvaged some memory that I recently paid
$75 for, plus the value of the other memory & cpu that was all headed
for the dumpster, and wound up with a 1GHz Athlon with 640MB memory that
will keep someone pretty happy for the comparatively minor amount of
usage it will get. Not an impressive machine, but a very usable one.

Thanks very much for the help you contributed!
