AMD PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970A) network drivers / TCP/IP drivers

[polemon]

Hi!

I'm trying to run various different DOSes in Virtual machines here.
The VM virtualizes among others, the AMD PCnet-PCI II network adapter.

I was looking for driveres everywhere, but I can't find any.
Does anybody have those drivers? I need TCP/IP packet drivers, too.

I use DR-DOS 7.03 (not Enhanced DR-DOS), MS-DOS 6.22 and FreeDOS 1.0 .
If the driver works on just one of them, that's fine. I run Windows 3.11
on MS-DOS, would be great if someone could describe how I should install
networking there, since my adapter is not listet in the network drivers
that come (came) with Win 3.11. Also Windows doesn't have TCP/IP drivers,
since I'd like to use it with the rest of my network, I'd need drivers for
that too.

Well, this seems like I'm asking for quite a lot. Help on anything would
be great.

Cheers,

Hmm, didn't actually occur to me to try a rescue disk to test the setup.
I'll see if I can manage to transfer some of that to the harddrive for
permanent use. Thanks for that!

You can install Windows 95/98.
Then just only use MS-DOS.
All with network drivers.
