This probably been discussed many times, the 3c509B will work in a 286 8-bit ISA slot however the driver require 286.
I did try it with NE1000.com driver and it will load i have no idea if it connects with the actual board though, it even will load brutmans? tcpdrv.exe, ipxodi.com and lsl.com.
But i do not manage to connect and ping my D-link router unfortunatly i lack twisted pair to try connect another computer directly.
So i was thinking maybe someone more knowledgable can try a 3c509b in a 8088 and see if the driver actually connect with card.
There is many of us 8088, 8086 owners who lack a NIC and a 3c509b in NE1000 mode maybe an easy way to get them up on internet.
But does it really work, the drivers loaded and configured for sure, but i can not reach the router.
I use NE1000.COM version 11.5.3
