Hardware Identification Help

[MidiGuy]

A friend gave me an NIC for an ISA slot to put in my 486, but he said he didn't know who the manufacturer is. I've looked all over it, and I can't find anything to tell me conclusively who made it. Windows 95 won't auto-detect it. It doesn't even have an FCC ID number to look up. How can I tell who made it/get the drivers for it?

Thanks again!

Are there any markings on the chipset (any whatsoever)?

there should be some markings on the chipset. plug them into google....

The largest chip and another chip both say Function (not a lot of success in Google with that one...). Another couple of chips say UMG, another says MYSON, and another says Fil-Mag. I found at least MYSON, but there wasn't much there. It seems like I also found UMG, but again, not much help there.

If I were to take a digital picture and post a link, would that help in figuring it out, or is it just too much of a generic/old card?

Are there any universal NIC drivers for cards of this age that I could try?

I've heard of the UMG chip...any nubers along with that? Post a pic....maybe we can find something...
Also..what OS do you plan to use with this card? Win2k is doubtful at best.
