Perhaps you could reprogram the system BIOS. If it's Award or AMI, then you could put Etherboot in as a module (see the Etherboot wiki for details). Buying RTL8139 NICs and putting proper ROM chips might be the cheapest option without touching the BIOS. I think DOC cannot be reprogrammed with a ROM burner - same socket does not necessarily meen same electrical or logical interface. I just did away with the DOCs I encountered, and programmed Etherboot into the BIOS instead. What with a bunch of same hardware machines is not too much hassle: You can reuse the boot floppy ;-) Regards Anselm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
