I have an ISA EtherExpress PRO/100 Card here. On the bigger chip
we find:
ES9752ABC4
DP83800A VF
10/100 Mb ISA MAC
on the smaller one it is:
ES9752ID
DP83840AVCE
I think the second line is the important one.
It also got a 25MHz oscillator and a (empty) ROM socket. It got
three LEDs: 100, ACT and LNK.
A while eago, I asked on the lists about support for it but the
answer was no.
