(Our > Genius NE2000 card seems to support 64k EPROMs.) It should be possible as long as your network card supports 64k EPROMs. For example I'm using an old WD8003 with a 64k EPROM but with a 32k bootrom image. I set the hardware jumpers on the card to 64k (so that the EPROM socket gets correct signals) but told the setup program, that it should only support 32k. This makes the decoding logic only pass requests for the lower 32k. > Secondly, do they program the image at 0x0000 or 0xc000 in the EPROM? > You say, "top quarter" -- does that mean from 0xc000 thru 0xffff then? gero. -- Tourists have some fun with New york's hard-boiled cabbies.
