Could they pick a more obscure NIC to emulate?

Anyone know where to find the drivers?

How do you use FShare (what is it anyway?)? Is there
anything explaining it anywhere? Checking help brings no
joy.

Links for the drivers are posted here regularly, a quick search of the
forums will turn it up.

(under the 21143 section)

The DEC21140 is used in quite a few NICs and almost every OS includes
the drivers, its a fairly standard NIC. Most major NIC manufacturers
have at least one or more cards based on it.

fshare.exe is the TSR for Folder Sharing in DOS. A quick search of
the VPC help returned this...

"Virtual Machine Additions for MS-DOS

Virtual Machine Additions for MS-DOS contains four files: Fshare.exe,
Cdrom.sys, Idle.com, and Mouse.com. These four files are installed to
a VmAdds folder on the C: drive of the virtual machine. The virtual
machine's Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files will be modified to use
the new files. The files provide the following functionality:

Fshare.exe -- makes it possible to use shared folders between your DOS
virtual machine and the host operating system. "
