Los Angeles, California, October 10, 1991 - Plus & Plus Co. Ltd. has started delivering a new line of media-flexible Ethernet cards, dubbed EtherFlex. The cards combine all three major network interface standards: Standard Ethernet (10Base5), Cheapernet (10Base2) and Twisted-Pair Ethernet (10BaseT). Plus & Plus' initial offer consists of four cards that are driver compatible with commercially popular cards. These are EtherFlex-8B (NE1000 compatible), EtherFlex-16B (NE2000 compatible, EtherFlex-PLUS (WD8003 compatible) and EtherFlex-PLUS/16 (WD8013 compatible). Alteratively, a version of the cards with only AUI and UTP ports is also available. They can be upgraded to full EtherFlex by just plugging in two more chips. With these, Plus & Plus expects to solve the problems faced by a LAN installer in a multi-topology installation. The EtherFlex cards simplify both inventory and maintenance. Since the demand for 10BaseT equipment has surpassed that for COAX, the Plus & Plus EtherFlex cards provide the best solution for any Ethernet installation by being compatible with different cabling as well as popular network drivers.
