I got few of these cards and Im looking for the DOS configuration utility so I can enable EPROM boot etc.

https://theretroweb.com/expansioncards/s/smsc … mc8416bt#driver

I downloade the ether.exe driver file from the site above but it does not seem to have specific DOS configuration utility. Not sure what I am missing.

Can someone please help?

You need EZSetup for that. It's not included in this driver pack. Also it's not needed if you're using a PnP system.

You can try GEZ121.EXE from this site: https://www.zx.net.nz/mirror/www5.ncr.com/sup … y_ethernet.html

According to the readme it should work with this card.

You can find a copy of EZsetup v1.22 on the SMC archive here - https://web.archive.org/web/19970613213001/ht … atest/setup.exe

Thank you for the replies !

I got the ezsetup file from gez121.exe and ran it but its not very intuitive as it doesnt have an interface like many other network card DOS setups eg etherlink. I am not sure what values to put down for various sections and how to enable eprom. I will come back with some screenshots of what I mean and hopefully can get some directions what to enter for each prompt.
