- I *had* an Accton 32-bit NIC; but returned it when there was no packet
- driver written for (or supplied with) the card. Disappointingly, it
- wouldn't emulate an NE3200.
-
- So, until I find something, I've got a 16-bit Accton EtherCombo card
- shoved into one of my EISA slots... (I'm a 10BaseT guy.)
-
- Oh, I've heard just a little on the Mylex card...nothing concrete in
- terms of compatibility, drivers, etc.
-
- Any recommendations on 32-bit 10BaseT NICs??
