This is a grey beard challange. A big thanks in advance for pointers. This will be a test of your memory(flesh & blood. F&B?)
I have a ISA nic (don't laugh at the antiquity of this stuff. It serves my purposes, or will if I can get it to work!) that says Novell, Inc. on the front and Microdyne on the back. The chip is National Semiconductor 8390. I believe this is supposed to be a NE2000 compatible card. Probably not pnp.
I am trying to get it to work on an Atrend 5010M mobo w/winme. STOP LAUGHING!!!
I have the jumpers set for IRQ 5 and I/O 300-31F. No conflicts are shown in Device manager.
I have DISABLED COM1, COM2, printer port, built in VGA.
I am using a Diamond Stealth64 2MB VRAM in a pci slot.
I have tried using the Novell/Anthem NE2000 compatibale device driver (and a few others that are supposed to be NE2000 clones). All with the same results.
When I boot I get the message "Your network adaptor Novell/Anthem NE2000(0000) is not working properly. You may need to set it up again. For more information see the Network Trouble shouter in Windows Help.
After I click OK the boot finishes. In Device Manager no nic is listes. I click Refresh and the nic appears. At that point I can use my lan with no problem.
I assume there is some sort of misque between the nic and the device driver at boot that is not an issue during the refresh.
Any ideas? I gotta believe there is a minor registry tweak that will fix this. I would be satisfied if there is a way to script doing the Device Manager Refresh automatically after boot.
Also, the NS 8390 chip on this card is the same as on a lot of other cards, such as 3c503. Does anyone know if there are 32bit device drive drivers for some other card that might work for this one? It seems that I can only find drivers specifically for these cards that are for 3.1 or 3.11. Yeah, thier that old.
Again, thanks to everyone willing to take on this challange.
