Thanks Charles the result from cat /proc/pci is what looks like four entries. None of them are a NIC and none of them are using IRQ 10. This NIC is an ISA device. Earlier I tried another (newer) 3Com 3c905 instead of this 3c509. I was just installing the system then and it prevented the "second stage install" from completing. Plus, the bundled drivers don't appear to include the 3c905. I am trying to scrounge up this machine but if a new NIC is the answer, that's not too bad. Thoughts?
