Request Netboot bootrom .rom file for Realtek 8139.

[Mike Hammer <mike-hammer@usa.net>]

Hello,

Has anyone successfully generated Netboot bootrom .rom file for Realtek's
8139 network adapter board?  If anyone has done so, could you provide
the .rom file suitable for program into PROM?  I was told that the packet
driver for 8139 provided by Realtek is ~70KB.  However with compression
applied to the Netboot bootrom kernel image, i would think that a 32KB
.rom image would be sufficient to hold the ~70KB packet driver binary.  The
standard .rom build version would be *very* helpful

PS. It seems Netboot allows a DOS executable, either .COM or .EXE to be
    linked with the bootrom kernel image and have that executable execute
    as preboot prior to DOS loading.  Is it possible to have a senario where
    the linked in executable can TFTP a data file from the TFTP daemon and
    execute itself and use that downloaded data file all before DOS boots?

Thank you very much,

-mh
