   A Pro/100B for ISA? Really? That's the first I've heard of it, and it does
seem a bit silly to attempt to do 100Mbps ethernet over ISA (where it isn't
possible to get even half of 100Mbps).
   Anyway, no, there is no chance that the current fxp driver will work with
an ISA card. The chipset on the board must be entirely different (the 82557
on the PCI Pro/100B is very PCI-centric).
