CompactFlash adapter or a USB based reader/writer. Differences in sector translation using IDE
devices can complicate doing the loading on another system. The net4501 uses a simple algorithm for
sector translation, if there are less than 1024 tracks, it will use the native CHS that the CompactFlash
reports, if more than 1024 tracks, it will use LBA translation. So the host system will need to match
that, and that will also normally be the case. In some cases it may be necessary to change the
translation settings in the host system’s BIOS.

The used DP83815 ethernet controller is directly supported by the newer versions of most operating
systems, and will normally be automatically detected. As it is a relatively new chip, it may be necessary to
upgrade to the newest version, or to locate device drivers. For most operating systems, drivers are available
