I have this card: https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Intel_8% … 516_LAN_Adapter
I'm trying to use an AT28C64 EEPROM with a boot/option ROM flashed to it in the NIC in my XT.
- The ROM works fine in an XTIDE card in the XT
- The ROM works fine in the Intel 8/16 in a 16 bit slot in a 386, even with the card set to 8 bit mode in SOFTSET.EXE
- The ROM does not work in the Intel 8/16 in the XT, even though the rest of the card works for networking
Nothing appears at the memory region, almost like the chip is not powered. However, when I installed the chip in the wrong location, I got RAM errors on the XT, so the socket is definitely connected in some way.
Has anyone ever gotten this to work in an 8-bit slot? Lots of people say it works but I have only seen pictures of it installed with a boot ROM in a 16-bit slot. Is there some other EEPROM, maybe a 32 pin one, that would work, or something like connecting the +5v on the 16 bit region of the card?
