I want to ask about DOS LAN issues
Right now I’m using something like this: a 586 running a DOS system with an 8029 network card, but it can only connect to some Windows 2000 systems using old 10M network cards.
(1) Can a 586 computer use an 8139 or other 10M/100M adaptive network card? I mean whether the hardware is compatible.
(2) Besides 2000 systems, can a DOS system connect to an XP system?
(3) If the 2000 or XP side uses a 10M/100M network card, can DOS still connect to it?
(3) What is the simplest way to load drivers for those relatively new network cards under a DOS system?
Annoying, this stuff is just hard to get working
Does any expert here have experience with it
Please introduce it a bit
