I've been running WD8013's under 3.2v2 and ODT 1.1 for quite some
time.  The boards are recognised at boot time as 8013's (and not
8003's) and the drivers see the additional memory (16k as opposed to
8k).  I've never done any empirical tests to determine how much faster
the '13's are than the '03's, but they do seem to be supported.

In addition, I recall at least one of the supported 3Com boards is
16-bit (3c505?).  I've never used it, though, as we we're soured on
3Com after the 3c301 and 3c503 cards.

Lastly, I'm under the vauge recollection that Racal makes a 16-bit
ethernet card for SCO using their own drivers.  Memory might be
failing me, though.
