Digital ISA DE200 NEtwork Card & WFWG/Endeavour Board etc?

I  am  having  problems getting Digital DE200 16  bit  ISA  cards 
working on a Windows for Workgroups Network.

The system works fine with WD8003 8 bit cards.

System 1: P120
          Intel Endeavour Board
          256K Pipeline Cache
          32MB EDO RAM
          Latest Intel BIOS
          On Board Vibra16 Sound Card

          PCI AHA 2940
          Diamond Stealth VRAM 2MB Card
          

I've taken Adaptec out and the symptoms are the same, the  system 
gets verious distances through booting and just hangs.



The D200 has a 12 bit DIP Switch.


buffersize  	sw1  	sw2  	sw3  	sw4    
--------------------------------------------------
64kb        	0     	1    	1    	1       c0000-cffff
		1	1	1	1	d0000-dffff(default)	

		0	0	1	1	e0000-effff (?)										
----------------------------------------------------------------------
32kb		0	1	0	1	c8000-cffff
		1	1	0	1	d8000-dffff
		0	0	0	1	e8000-effff (?)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2kb		0	0	0	0	xxxxx      (??)		

(?) sometimes problems

sw5 i/o range 300 - 30F  1
              200 - 20F  0
sw6 Remote boot selection 
    Disable              1
    emable               0
sw7 remote boot periodetime
    30seconds		  0
    150seconds            1

sw8      irq5
sw9      irq9
sw10     irq10
sw11     irq11
sw12     irq15

I've tried just about everything I can think of and can't get the 
system to get to the DOS prompt!!

System 2


486-100DX
16 MB RAM
Bus Logic 545S SCSI Card (supporting 2 drives)
Oak technology VGA Card
DE200

With this one, the system boots OK (32 bit buffer) and RAM 0300,
IRQ  5. But when the system enters Windows, there's a  very  long 
delay.  The system can't communicate with the P120  system  (when 
the P120 is using the WD8003 8 bit card).


1) Has anyone had a DE200 working with an Endeavour Board?

2) Can anyone suggest a configuration which WILL work?
