First: I just realized that this NIC doesn't even have a Declaration ROM! :O

Dunno if that's good or bad, but I'm switching to one of the pair of Plug & Play NICs that olePigeon sourced for me.
Macsense brand: E430 LC PDS Ethernet Card LC PDS P/N: 110-00014-100 Ver. 1.3
The drivers are built into a beautiful little 28pin DIP Socketed DeclROM, so that may make things far easier . . .
. . . or more difficult? :?:
IIRC, these were NIB @ $5 ea, coupled with the SuperMac PDS Adapter and Radius Color Pivot II/IIsi that's about $10 for the grand total . . .
. . . shipping costs additional. :lol:
Second: thank heavens I do incremental versions as backup in case of corrupted files . . .
. . . sometime between 1:30AM and 3:43 AM the file got messed up so I can't open it! No biggie. ;D
< . . . another mug of Java later. >
edit: WooHoo! It just dawned on me, Macsense made a NuBus version of this card (as did Asante for theirs) so the DeclROM's onboard drivers may not make any differentiation for the Slot ID. Like the NuBus version of this NIC, the LC version very likely just makes use of whatever interrupt is available in any slot where it has been installed. There's really no need for two versions of Driver or DeclROM . . .
. . . as I read the docs in Designing Cards & Drivers anyway. :?:
