Some time back, I asked for help in getting the Ethernet address from a board
(so that I could distinguish between boards, and load the correct driver)
The following is a Turbo Pascal (I can easily rewrite in C if anybody needs it)
program that distinguishes between WD8003E, 3C501, and DE-001 (NE-1000 clones).
The tests aren't foolproof and I would be happy to hear from people with ideas
for improvingthe tests, or extending the boards it can test for.
The program sets the ERRORLEVEL, and a sample Batch job to test this is also
included

I posted this last week, but we had some failures here, so it may not have gone
out. Apologies if you have already seen it.
