Version 6.5 now contains 98 different network card drivers all on the single 1.44MB disk! However even more cards are supported, since many of these drivers are generic, supporting a entire chipset/series of cards! Upon booting the disk, the network card will attempt to be auto detected. Should it not be automatically detected the last manually selected card will be used. The current settings are then shown on the screen where you then can select to change the settings if you wish. This screen is set with an automatic timeout, so the disk can be used in a completely automated process.

Typical Usage Scenarios

2014 Note: I first started creating the NetBootDisk back in 2001 - in the height of re-imaging many machines from DOS/Windows 98 to Windows XP. Today I use more modern tools via PXE Booting - not to mention the machines don't even have floppies any more! :)
