I have a ISA NIC based on the DP83800AVF 10/100 ISA MAC chipset. Since it has an option rom socket (28 pin, but that's not an issue) I'd like to use it to run the XT-IDE bios at startup in a 286 build I'm contemplating. However I have had precisely zero luck in finding any info or software for it so I can figure out what size chips it likes or how to configure it to run the option rom at boot. Packet drivers and other DOS utilities are also a no go. The killer? It's an Intel branded card (EtherExpress Pro/100 LAN Adaptor), you think there'd be some documentation! Any ideas? I'd hate to junk it, because the thing is new old stock.
