"Ultimate" ghost boot disk

Hey everyone

At my job, we ghost a lot of PCs with many different NICs. When we ghost them we used to have to find the right boot disk with the right NIC drivers on it. I made this a little easier by putting every nic driver that we use in the A:\net\ folder\.
Then I added the driver names to the A:\net\protical.ini file by adding something like this to the end of the file for each driver:

drivername = <name of driver file without the extension>$

Then I added this to the bottom of the A:\config.sys file:

DEVICE = <name of driver file with extension>

This works! When the computer boots up with the ghost boot disk, it tries setting the drivers to the NIC to each of the drivers on the disk. if the driver does not match up with the NIC, it fails and tries the next driver. It's a little messy, but it works.

My question is: is it possible to have some sort of if statement somewhere to say "if NIC name is X then use X.dos drivers"?

Thanks

The only thing close to that I remember is the choice command: http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/...CHOICE&exact=1

I don't think that is going to do it though.
