So I was wondering if someone had the option rom config software for this Intel NIC. It seems to take standard 32 pin flash chips (the top row seems to be unconnected).

Ok, so a little more info. Per the info in this post: Re: DOS drivers for 16-bit ISA network adapter Intel FA82595TX
I've downloaded this package: http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1272&menustate=0
After some digging it seems like the card uses a 28F020 flash chip (the manual specifically mentions 256K flash storage) and the softset program can set an address for it

My question: is anyone using this card successfully to load an option rom like XTIDE? And can it use a smaller flash chip like a 28F010 (they're a bit cheaper)?
