It seems from some postings I have seen go past that our problem
with Windows 3 and PC-NFS may actually be more related to the
Ethernet adapter we use, the WD EtherCard Plus, also known as the
WD8003E. We are using it with the factory-default addresses, but
with IRQ 3, since our VGA cards use IRQ 2 and cannot be changed.

We have not seen the system crash, but the NFS-mounted drives
(even the real ones, not just the phantom ones) cannot be accessed
by Windows.

If anyone (SUN? MICROSOFT? ANYONE?) has suggestions or solutions,
please let us know.

If we do get valid information which has not been posted, I will of
course summarize to the net.
