163- Due to the way the DE-10 nano is built,
164- it is common that two or more MiSTers will have the exact same MAC address on their onboard ethernet port.

168- Fortunately, it's possible to override the default MAC address.
163+ Some operating systems like [ Mr Fusion] ( ../setup/software.md#flash-mr-fusion-to-your-microsd )
