This is the one bit of info you need. This seems to be the original, old Ether
Express, and those 1994 date codes (9438, 9432) support that. The HowTo
says Status - Supported. So, if you give the config program this info, it should
find it. I'm not sure how you set the I/O, int vector, etc. I seem to remember that
the early ones had a configuration program that ran under DOS, and you supplied
the address parameters, etc. and it programmed a non-volatile memory on the
card. You might look around on Intel's web site for this program.
