This may be a more suitable question for comp.pc.hardware or
some such group, but I thought I would start here.

Not long ago I picked up several network cards with the
lance ethernet chip, manufactured by DEC.  These are 8-bit
cards for the isa bus, or so it seems.  A sticker on the
back sez:  "FCC ID: AO974U-DEPCA".  Looking thru the NetBSD
sources, I notice in if_le.c that a DEPCA - DEC-net card is
supported by this driver.  Will wonders never cease.  I would
love to put these cards to use.  If anyone is familiar with
them, I would really appreciate help in getting the jumpers
set and such so I could use them with NetBSD.

Thanks
