Currently, I have a WD8003 ethernet card running with Sun's (Tops's)
PC-NFS package. I tried to install NE1000 Compatible cards
in place of the WD cards, but couldn't get them to work.

The WD cards came with a disk of drivers, and those drivers where
what I used with the PC-NFS.  However, the NE-compatible cards
did not come with any drivers at all.  I tried the "NIC" standard
driver that came with PC-NFS, but it didn't work at all.  Now,
where do I buy the drivers I need?  Everyone I talked to gives me that
same blank "drivers? Wwat are drivers?" stare. One salesman even insisted 
they must have meant "hard drives".  Am I dreaming when I think I can
find a driver for these
boards?  Does any small 4K ".sys" files come with the real novell cards?
If so, I can just buy kOthose.
