During installation, I haven't been able to come up with a parameter string which will successfully install the lance.o module. It invariably responds, "Device or resource busy. Installation failed." > You might want to try some fairly radical ways of figuring out what this > mystery card is.

There are many ways to waste time, playing games is just one of the best of them. > Could the DOS program tell you what the IRQ & I/O settings are?

To change them, you have to first turn off PnP support. (I tried feeding those values to lance.o even though IRQ 3 should belong to COM1. Naturally, they failed.) > On that thought, AMD's web site might be of some help. Why AMD? The docs from the NE2500s only mention Microdyne and Eagle. (Of course, I've had them for a few years...
