Reconfiguring the NIC

EISA PCs come with an automatic configuration program that allocates resources to each installed hardware device in the PC.

Changing an ISA NIC to EISA mode enables the NIC to be configured by the EISA configuration program for correct EISA PC settings.

You can configure an ISA NIC for EISA mode only if the NIC is installed in an EISA slot.

If you have configured an ISA NIC for an EISA PC, the PROTOCOL.INI file looks for the parameter SLOT=number rather than the I/O base address. The SLOT number is required only if you have multiple NICs installed.
