Hi everyone,

I am currently looking at a ZEOS 486-DX33 with a Phoenix Bios (version 1.00).
(https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/zeos-gosling)

The computer is working fine but I cant get a CF card working. I tried several sizes / partitions etc with no sucess (several 128MB / 256MB / 1GB / 4GB - partitioned). Using Phils bootdisk (Fdisk/mbr), all works well, except booting. I can get all these different cards registered correctly in the BIOS as well. They even work when I boot from a floppy (i.e. I can acess drive C: and its working, showing files and the proper size). The only thing that never works is getting them to boot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In case this is a hopeless case, I was consdering to try an ISA network card + Boot Rom solution (e.g. XTIDE), but have never done that. I have the following old network card

and a few more questions: Firstly - would this card work? What kind of Rom do I need and where can I get one. Finally what kind of Writer is needed to flash the XTIDE Bios to the Rom chip?

thanks for the help
