The Western Digital WD8003EB Ethernet card apparently has a boot PROM
on board for use in diskless PCs.  Does anyone know if it is possible to
such a beast in a SUN UNIX environment to run a TCP/IP application. It
seems to me there might be a problem in assigning IP addresses.  But if
this is possible, it might be very useful.
