This page describes my tests for network boot.

Detect NEx000 and clones, including PCI
Contains an .exe with sources inside (pkunzip to extract), and
a .com which detects NEx000 or clone and shows its parameters:
bus size (NE1000 or NE2000), io port, irq, ethernet address.

CAUTION: there was a bug in previous version, fixed 1-Aug-2000.
The bug caused bad parameters passed to the driver, in spite
they were previously correctly shown. Please use new version.

I expect it to detect correctly any NEx000 clone without
breaking network communication - let me know of any problems.

The .exe together with .com which can be extracted from it can
be used to make universal auto-detecting driver from Crynwr
NE1000 and NE2000 drivers - it produces a .com file containing
NEx000 detect code, and the drivers, which which selects proper
driver and adds parameters telling what is IRQ and IO base.

The .com in the nex-dtct.zip is the driver detect without any
driver, therefore it tells parameters and says "No driver".
