RT>> A ROM jumper 16K 32K 64K NONE,
WH>> Boot EPROM - set to NONE.
WH> Designed to put an EPROM in there, for diskless boot machines. It'll
WH> load a small OS off there, or something.
So for MSDOS just the internal DOS files in EPROM?
WH> It seems you've got a RJ-45 connector for 10BaseT networking onboard,
WH> while the card has a BNC and an AUI.
WH> Ah. Not easy, you could buy a protocol convertor to convert 10BaseT
WH> (RJ-45/phone connector) to 10Base2 (BNC/coax), but it would be cheaper
WH> to buy a combo network card for about 20 quid new.
WH> You'd use a UTP crossover cable (not a straight patch cable) to
WH> connect the two machines - they're available from Maplin's, etc.
WH> If you want to use more than two machines, you'd need a hub for
WH> 10BaseT.
Hmm... at this stage of development, think I'd better wait and aquire
either another 10BaseT or 10Base2.
Buy? _Buy_?
