Reconfiguring the NIC
4-3
You can configure an ISA NIC for EISA mode only if it is
in an EISA slot.
If you have configured an ISA NIC for an EISA PC, the
PROTOCOL.INI file looks for the parameter SLOT=number
rather than the I/O base address. The SLOT number is
required only if you have multiple NICs installed.
The following procedures are general. Refer to the
configuration documentation provided with your PC for
more details.
