[plug] Network Card (WDC)

[Craig Foster]

Ahh, the WD8013 is the Western Digital quasi ne2000 big brother to the
wd8003.
The ne2000 compatibility was never functional, so you'll have to use the
"wd" module.
As it's ISA it'll require the usual IO= and IRQ= lines to set the driver
in the right direction to see the card. BTW, if you have a windows machine
that can see IO and IRQ ports for this card, write them down as a start,
cos these guys didn't bother writing the jumper settings on the back of
the card.

There are some WD8013 jumper settings on the web. You may need to look for
WD8003 to find the links from there...

Man, that's dredging some horrible memories of the Murdoch LANtastic
network of 10 years ago :)

Regards,

Craig Foster
