Thanks, James.

The 'chip' had the NE2000 sticker plastered over the top so I could not see
the chip numbers.  Turns out to be a UM9008F and google took me to

http://www.drivermuseum.com/files/drivers/net_d.html

Interesting name for a web page and they have the files there.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,
    Look at the chips on the card, especially the big controller chip
(should be one of the largest).  Do a google for the chip number (say
DEC21140).  You might have to do a little detective work with any
silkscreened numbers/letters on the card (look at the other side too).  It
took me most of an afternoon to find out what an old ISA card of mine was -
a Longshine something or other.  I was googling for chip numbers in
combination with various things silkscreened on the card when I happened on
a web site that had the same logo as the card did.  From there I could
identify the card and find the DOS configuration utility (no jumpers).  All
in all, your best bet is google.  You might have better luck with
www.google.com/linux or www.google.com/bsd - they seem to have more hits on
chip numbers.  However the Longshine hit was on the main google site and
didn't show on a Linux search.

How's that for a non-committal I-don't-know-go-ask-someone-else answer for
you?
