It's a standard NE2000 clone. The NE2000 drivers should do fine with it. As you only have two jumpers for the base, it's very likely that the choices are 300/320/340/360. As the standard configuration of NE2000 cards is 300, I guess "both jumpers set" is 300 on this board. So just try to load the NE2000 driver with IO=300, IRQ=10, and it will most likely work out of the box.

EDIT: later on in this thread, the OP reported back: The card is currently set to IO=360. So IO=300 would be "both jumpers open". With a single of the two jumpers closed, you get 320 or 340, depending on which jumper is closed.

Thanks I'll try that 😀 Just found some UMC UM9003F drivers that weren't viruses too!

I believe it is the UMC UM9003F ISA Ethernet card.

The UM9003F drivers expect a PnP card so they're no good, but I used the generic e16pkt.com and with a bit of trial and error it turns out both jumpers on equals 0x360 as the address!

Thanks for reporting back. To get to the usual base address 0x300, you would likely need to pull both base address jumpers, but the card will work fine at 360, too. Be aware that the I/O range extends up to 0x371. Likely the card doesn't respond to 0x378-0x37A (default addresses of the primary parallel port), but other conflicts in the 0x370 range might be possible.

It seems to be working fine 😀 Just used mtcp as the ftp server and dumped a copy of the hard drive.... managed to reach 5mbps! 😀

Hi, I'm tinkering with another UM9003F model right now, trying to figure out jumpers.
Apparently, there's an utility, LANSET (LANcard SETup) that can help to diagnose the card.

Edit: A bit more information about my card.. It's an "Ether16" model.
The first jumper block is for base address, second for interrupt.

Btw, it seems that the UM9003F's NE2000 emulation mode *might* work in an PC/XT in 8-Bit mode.
At least I was able to run the NE2000 packet driver. It detected the card's correct network ID, at least.

For a super simple way to transfer files between systems in DOS (and to easily
test that your network/packet-driver works on a system you've not yes set things
up on), I'd suggest my own DDLINK - a single 17k .COM file that needs no supporting
files (other than a packet driver for LAN transfers), and does not have to be installed
- you just have to load the packet driver and run DDLINK.COM - it is downloadable
from my site (in sig).

It supports network via packet driver (and also Serial/Parallel connections).

Its a 16-bit .COM file and runs under DOS, needs only an 8088 CPU.

I also run it in DosBox (with the virtual NE2000+packet driver) which lets me
move files between my "modern" desktop and a few DOS systems I still use.

If you want a small/simple full "file sharing" DOS network package, I've used
NEOS.NET with good results: http://ftp.carnet.hr/pub/pub/pc/networking/NeOS/

I don't believe it will talk to anything else though...

(I've not used this since the 90s, but just found out (in another Vogons forum)
that this is still available!)

Thank you! ^^

Weirdness... Thought I might try it.... but the only 8088 machine I have any more is a Poquet PC.
No chance of putting a network card in it.

So I fired up PCEM ... as an XT -- supposed to have an NE2000, but
NE2000 driver (same rev you showed) hangs (DDLINK runs fine).
