Hi all,
  I was wondering if I from a turbo pascal program, can I
can determine if a computer has either a 3c501 board or a 3c503 board
installed? The reason i am asking is because here at Penn State York Campus
I have a computer lab of IBM PS/2 model 30's that 10 of these have 3c503
boards, and 20+ of these have 3c501 boards. So what I want to do is be
able to tell at after booting the computer have the turbo pascal program
determine the board installed, re-configure the config.sys file in the
drive, and then have dos do a Warm/cold boot, and then reboot with
the proper drivers installed. this would only happen if the program
would determine that the disk wasn;t configured properly. Or
is there a way to determine the Node number/address of the particular
card. And then take it from there.
