Hi!
I am owning an K6XV3+/66.
I've installed the lastest Bios Update with some Options enabled via Modbin.

Now I've build in an 3C515-TX ISA Networkcard with an Bootrom. But I am unable to boot this. I guess the bios is unable to use this. Can be this pathed?
I also would like to patch my bios, that 4x memory interleaving is enable per default. My bios does not provied this option, so only 1x is active.

I can set 4x via WPCREDIT, this works fine.

Could someone help me?

If you can boot from a SCSI card you should be able to boot from this card too. I even booted 486 machines from 3COM network cards. What you do need is a server with a bootimage that the card is looking for. It sends out a special packet on which the server will reply with address etc. What kind of bootrom are you using? 3COM, generic RPL, PXE?
