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).
