You'd have to either
 a) have 10 protocol.ini files & copy/rename into place
or
 b) use a 3rd party util to update the ini.
(mine was on a 3.5" diskette, but only 3 NICs)
I did b); wrote one in assembler(2k). I could send it  to you, if you want .

.Alternatively seek out  CD-GOD as an example of what to do with ramdrives
and a lot of drivers
