Funny; I'll try setting each and every card to 0x300, 10, D000h (ie1), and
let you know tonight.  I've a bad feeling I won't get a single one in the
stack to work.  (All of them were pulled from fully network functional
Win3.1 boxes.)  As I said before, I've already tried a few of them at ie1's
settings:  0x300, IRQ 10, D000h (32k) memory, with no results at all, on
several motherboards.

I'm thinking a kernel with IEDEBUG compiled into it may help, though I don't
really have a machine to make such a kernel yet.  If I can find that
Etherlink III boxed away... (do we support the "buggy"--older
revision--3c509 yet?)  Sigh; I'm always stuck with the oddball equipment.

Had the card at 32k, no cigar.  And apparently, the card has 16k, 32k, and
PIO modes.
