Microsoft NE1000/NE2000 NDIS device driver v0.31.
IOBASE - This keyword describes the IO base address used by the
adapter. It must match the jumper settings as described in the
installation manual. The values of IOBASE range from 200H to 3E0H
in increments of 10H. If multiple adapters are installed, the
IOBASE values must be at least 20H apart. The IOBASE default is
300H.

adapter. No other device installed in the computer may use this
interrupt. It's value must match the jumper setting as described
in the installation manual. INTERRUPT can range from 2 to 5
inclusive, the default is 3.
DRIVERNAME - This keyword describes the device driver's name. The
default is MS1000$ if NE1000, or MS2000$ if NE2000. If more then
one adapter is installed, the device driver names increment as
follows:
MS10002$, MS10003$, MS10004$, ..., MS10009$

[NE1000_NIF]
Drivername = MS1000$
Interrupt = 3
IoBase = 0x300
[NE2000_NIF]
Drivername = MS2000$
