Reconfiguring the NIC
EISA PCs come with an automatic configuration program that
allocates resources to each installed hardware device in the PC.
Changing an ISA NIC to EISA mode enables the NIC to be
configured by the EISA configuration program for correct EISA
PC settings.
You can configure an ISA NIC for EISA mode only if the NIC is
installed 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.
