I am trying to get the Ethernet functioning on a Zeos Boa or Coral board.  
I have the adapter, filter chip, AMD79C974KC chip, and 20Mhz crystal on the 
Coral, 4th jumper in on the Boa.  I cannot get the AMD software to see the
card.  Is there some trick, other than setting the option on in the CMOS?

Please help!

: On Coral, you need to have the ethernet chip enabled, set to an IRQ, and PIRQ2 set to the same IRQ.  
: As to Boa, you must have the first jumper jumped.  That is the jumper closest to the front of the 
: computer on CLK1.

Do I have the Coral or Boa board?

On Coral, you need to have the ethernet chip enabled, set to an IRQ, and PIRQ2 set to the same IRQ.  
As to Boa, you must have the first jumper jumped.  That is the jumper closest to the front of the 
computer on CLK1.

Your board is a Boa2.  All you should have to do to enable the
ethernet half is to enable in CMOS, and make sure the first pair on CLK1 
is jumped.
