Tony, you mentioned a couple of differences in NE2000 cards.  I
collected a handful a while back that give me a problem I can't figure
out - maybe you can steer me right.  These cards use a NSC DP83901 chip
and work fine under DOS but they hang every system I've tried them on
when booting OS/2.  I doubt it's the sniffer since the hang occurs
before the little white box appears in the upper left.  Any pearls to
cast?  I'd hate to just pitch them if there is some secret to getting
booted.
One other clue: when I try to install PC Lan on the DOS boxes I have
to run the install program with the cards removed, then plug them in
when I re-boot.  I get a very predictable demand load error if they are
in the machine while the install program is testing the system, even if
I exclude the RAM area in the EMM386.sys config line.  Sounds like a
similar crash, but how do you beat it? I seem to remember a discussion
of this a while back, but can't rmemeber the details.
