0.99E works if you don't do auto-dectection, either by using the 3Com
configuration program to hardcode it from DOS or by overriding the media
and full/half duplex flags. And you have to power down the machine if you
have used Win95B/Win98, but all that is documented on the web-page...

At least that works on the 3C905B's I have access to.
