Looks like you have one of those "helpful" text editors that break up
long lines or something like that. Get a real programmer's editor.

>I am working with standard LINUX 6.0

There is no such thing as Standard Linux 6.0. Only the kernel has a
version number and major packages have their versions. You probably mean a
distribution version such as RedHat 6.0 or Mandrake 6.0 or Slackware 6.0.

The 3c503 requires a 27C64 (only). It's enabled by a jumper which you
will be able to see if you get out your magnifying glasses. I'm not
aware of any list of NICs and EPROM sizes. With the number of cards in
the market, it would have to be a reader maintained list.
