 RT> WD8013EBT 16-bit edge with 15 way connector and BNC
 WH> WD8013 chipset cards were reasonably common.
Thanks to All for all your replies!
 
 RT> A ROM jumper 16K 32K 64K NONE,
 WH> Boot EPROM - set to NONE.
Is there any advantage to sticking a lump of DRAM in there?
How does this "boot"?
 
 RT> an address jumper C4000 C8000 D0000 with a ROM size jumper (but no
 RT> ROM chip)
 WH> That would be for the shared memory area, which this type of card
 WH> uses, I believe.
Shared with what please?
 
 RT> It has a network address sticker with 0000C0 7F1307
 WH> Ethernet hardware address unique to this card by the sound of it.
And that get's picked up by WfWG when installing driver?
 
 RT> Can this be used as a domestic LAN card with WfWg3.11?
 WH> Yes, use the BNC in a bus type config rather like this:
OK.  Then it's not possible to use this with my onboard 3COM
which outputs to an on-bard 8-way telephone-style socket?
Thanks again to you and all others who've replied...
