Hi, I found interesting Compaq 176608-001 ML330 Feature Board.

On HP website I found drivers only for Linux and Windows 2000 server.

This is question maybe for FreeDOS mailing list...

Does anyone here have experience upgrading 486DX PCI with server feature boards? This could provide great feature for DOS retro gaming while saving PCI slots.

So I got response from one smart local guy that these have some Compaq protected SCSI BIOS and it will not work in non-Compaq computer. He made it working by removing SCSI Bios, but then you loose the SCSI functionality. Next thing is that RJ-45 is probably only service port, not real LAN port.
