I am currently trolling through every NIC I can get my hands on trying to
work out which can take the ROM.
I have a 3c905 in my desktop machine which can take 64K or 128K, but it is
not clearly documented anywhere I can find which end of the socket I am
supposed to put the ROM, and I could not get it to work in either end when
I tried it in both. The other problem is that this card is PCI, so wont go
in my test machines, and the fact that I use this machine for development,
and for my job.
