   I'm looking for some tech info on network cards as I want to try
   and write some drivers for myself.

If you're writing these drivers for MS-DOS for other than academic
reasons, please reconsider.  There are three different driver specs -
ODI, NDIS, and PDS.  I'm sure that one of them would meet your needs.

But if you seriously want to do this, then go get National's 8390
data sheet, and examine the Crynwr packet drivers found on
simtel20.army.mil in pd1:<msdos.pktdrvr> as drivers1.zip and
drivers2.zip.  That'll cover quite a few drivers.
