Sorry to mail to this list but I never got a reply from mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu.
So maybe someone who had this problem can help. (Yes, it's been a while :-/ )

Here is the output:

% wdfix 300
Current settings (in hex):
300: 21 05 18 2c 80 01 23 00 05 00 c0 d2 56 26 00 ca


This is the info from two stickers on the card:
WD8013EP D 10911
Network Address  0000C0 D25626

Thanks...
