I put on my glasses and saw that it is a EtherWORKS DE 203, not a DE205.
Excuse the misinformation but these imprinted into sheet letters in the back 
mounting panel are diffult to decipher sometimes.

I just noticed that (due to some network card swapping it escaped
to me) it wasn't yet running under NT but under Win95 it works
and has the setting 0x300-0x31f/5/c8000-c87ff.
