[WinMac] George's Performa 476

Good morning, George!
It was a wise move if you installed the ethernet card on the Performa 476
(a/k/a Quadra 605, LC-IV)... This way the MacOS 8 installer automatically
detected it and installed the correct drivers. In fact, even since System
7.1 the installer would auto-detect the card.
I would *skip* the Asanté drivers, because they often lag behind the Apple
drivers; and the Asanté card follows the Apple NIC API's.
[More to follow later today.]
Cheers!
Dan
