If you need board documentation, try the manufacturers' web sites.
That has provided me with significant information on several
boards. (motherboard, sound card, video boards, etc)
RE: NE2000 clones: We have had little luck getting NE2000 clones
to work here with Linux and recent machines. I don't understand

Sorry about the negativity: I trust others will provide more
specific, _positive_ help. The best of luck to you!
