I tried to get XT-IDE running in an SMC network card and it just doesn't activate the rom.
The eprom works fine in a 3com network card and also in ne2000 knockoffs so I know the eprom is good.
I thought perhaps the card was faulty so I bought a new smc isa card, still shrink wrapped and it has thew same issue.
Has anyone been successful in getting an SMC card to work? Is there something non standard about them?
I've tried reading the rom while plugged into the card using debug and just get random garbage back.
