Before going backward to the old firmware release I would suggest
trying comBIOS 1.33 or, at least, 1.32i (both available for the net45xx
series too).  comBIOS 1.32 has some known problems fixed in recent
releases.  If it does not work either, I suppose that Søren Kristensen
will be interested in looking at this compatibility problem.

As a workaround, I would recommend downgrading comBIOS to the most recent
release that works with the microdrive instead of the one that comes with
the net4521.  As you say, it is a six years old comBIOS release!

Perhaps the network booting problem is not related with a bug in the
comBIOS.

Cheers,
Igor.
