Many thanks to moderators roy and wengier for their support, but because my skill level and time are limited, I could only make it using the dumbest method. This disk uses MSDOS RAMDRIVE as a virtual disk, and uses wrapper.sys to copy the driver files to the virtual disk for loading. It can automatically recognize three kinds of network cards: 3com, tplink8139, and DFE 530TX (if you want more, you can add them in). Unfortunately my level is too poor; both the file size and memory allocation choices are newbie-level. I hope this can give moderator wengier some help in making a multi-network-card driver disk.

Oh right, this boot disk still has one problem: I don't know how to specify a fixed virtual disk, so in config.sys I directly used the virtual disk G that I already knew from my own machine, hehe. If you change machines then there's nothing I can do. Hope one of you can modify it?

Is it a LAN boot disk or an Internet network boot disk?

I suggest using the reference driver for 8139 network cards... that way all brands can be supported. If possible, try to use reference drivers for all of them!

Making an Internet network boot disk would be more meaningful...

The 8139 one is a reference driver, downloaded from Driver Home. Also, I have already made a new LAN boot disk, which solves many of the previous problems. It was made on the basis of moderator wengier's super boot disk. It can automatically recognize four kinds of network cards: 3com 90X, DFE 530TX, Intel pro 100, and Tplink 8139. 588K of conventional memory remains, and 18K upper remains. It is mainly used as a Ghost network backup boot disk.
