Dear Netlanders,
What I have is a couple of wd8003 ethernet cards with no
documentation.  I want to use them to run pcroute and need to know some
jumper information.  The cards were used in a unknown configuration
previously, so I can't trust the jumper settings.  And worse they both
seem to have their jumper settings set completely differently from one
another.   I need to set one of the cards to I/O address 0x280 and
another to 0x2A0 .  I also need to know what the interrupt jumper is.
Although pcroute does not use interrupts, the card can not be set the
same as anything else in the computer.  I figure setting both to either
2,5, or 7 should suffice.   I assume the w3 is the thin/thick
jumper.  Each of the cards have them set differently, so I don't know
which is thick and which is thin ethernet.  The install documentation
mentions a AT-6MHz jumper for wait states, I am not sure of its
location either.

Any information any one has will be greatly appreciated.  Below is my
crude picture of the board.  Please send mail directly rather than post.
I am sure that everyone else saves (under lock and key) their docs.
