Thanks for your answer. Now the floppy image of the 0.9.0e works well, but the image.rom still does nothing. I tried different options on the makerom dialog and padding with zeroes too without success... Any hints?? I found a message in netboot list saying that this NIC worked for Doug Ambrisko with netboot( http://www.han.de/~gero/netboot/archive/msg02957.html) but how? Mi bios parameters (Phoenix Bios 4.0) seem not to influence... Thanks for your time. Omar. NOTE: I send copy of this message to Doug A., maybe he has disconnected from the netboot mailing list, sorry for any inconvenience to him.
