freezes up shortly after floppy disk access.

local area networking needs."  On Google Groups, I found a reference
to "Willibald Meyer's GENMAC NIC driver" which reportedly works
with this Chipset, but I can't find it anywhere to test.  Anyone know where
GENMAC might be found?

Hi Randy,
Don't know whether the attached files [NDIS2 directory - sent direct] as 
per subject - which came on the ASUS CD with my friend's CUSI-M m/b are 
any different to what you have quoted in your config.sys - but they 
worked fine on his m/b using one of my drives plugged-in, both with 
W4FP15~16 and also with eCS 1.x partitions on that drive.

[Can't help with the FD problem]
