I have applied the patch to 5.4 and 5.5.  It did not work on one of my 
PCs, but I believe the board is slowly dying so it is untrustworthy.

Booting from a floppy with 5.5 stopped at the Loading ROM image stage. 
It is probably a bad floppy but I did not have time to look.  (Yes I 
made the /bin/pcnet32.dsk and wrote that to the disk).

Thanks again for the patch

Tim
