I hope someone can give me a definate answer to this question I keep getting
vague answers on! 
 
Will ALL of the ethernet drivers written for the WD 8003E<8bit> ethernet
board work with the WD8013<16 bit> ethernet board?   Some people say
no, others say they don't know, yet I keep seeing references to things like
'...but the drivers will work in 8 bit emulation mode on the 8013'  
I have the manual for the 8013 board, but it doesn't mention anything about
an 8 bit emulation mode, which if it exists, I would assume to be a 
compatability mode to the 8003E board.
Is there sort of an emulation mode in the 8013 to make the software think
its an 8003E?
  
Thanks,
Charles
