(Craig Metz) talks about how it would be nice to support the 3com503 and
3com 505:
Actually, the 503 is very similar to the wd (now smc) 8003 series of
cards - both use the 8390 NIC. If you folks already have a driver for
the 8003, you won't find it too big a job to support the 503 - just
different locate and init code. The runtime code is identical.
The 505 is quite different, though - it has a 186 cpu on board, and a
totally different interface than the 503.
