Now that's funny, when my drive at home died it gave a similar code :-
 0000000F
 00000003
and I don't have an Ether-Net Card.  The Mac at work also started giving
similar messages (it does have an Ether-Net card) but these stopped when
I converted to System 7.0 (now it just doesn't boot-up first go, we have
to switch off at the wall and try again.  Soemone suggested that the
power supply might not be giving out enough power at startup and the
physical reset could reduce the amount of stress caused by the drive ie
it is already spinning so the supply doesn't get a major surge.)
