Yes, but I do tend to type it wrong on the actual computer and have to 
redo it.  I get error messages when I make typos.

The DOS diagnostic program from 906setup.exe told me those parameters. I
suppose I can try a cold boot into SW32 net.i one more time to verify that
it does not work either - could it be not booting BECAUSE the card is bad?

I think I will if possible avoid ISA ne cards.  I have a choice of about 
20 cards half of which are PCI, most of which we donated to where I can 
get them back free.  (But I am trading a turntable that we found in a 
dumpster and got working anyway).
