Are you certain? There is most definitely an Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+ 
ISA version, because I have about eight or nine of them ripped out of old 
bank terminals that I've been using in all sorts of old machinery.

The ISA version was always detected as iy0/iy1 (after I added the entries 
to a kernel config) and so forth. According to the URL: 

http://www.support.vectra.hp.com/vectrasupport/level4/290vm0157en.pdf.html

The card is PCLA80205B? That might be HP's own nomenclature though..

In Intel's site, the following URL describes the PRO/10+ ISA (which are 
the ones that I have):

http://support.intel.com/support/etherexpress/pro10/tti004.htm

The E10DISK is the one I use to reprogram the cards from the DOS prompt. 
They are detected and work as "iy0" devices. Lemme dig up a dmesg..

iy0 at isa0 port 0x360-0x36f irq 11: address 00:aa:00:60:39:a6, rev. 1, 32 
kB

Hrm..  That's not terribly informative. I can dig up the "real" chipset if 
you like by taking a look at whatever's on the PCB? Maybe something's 
weird going on here and some of my older problems actually stem from 
incorrect kernel configs after all. (I was one of the ones with the 
dual-iy0 firewall type problems that you kindly fixed up.)
