- Hello,
- I am waiting that someone write interface program for EISA Ethernet
- cards, too. But, there is an economical problem.
- Usually, EISA Ehternet cards are much expensive than ISA cards,
- for example,
- NOVEL NE3000 $700
- Intel EtherExpress $550
- No bland maker $250 - $400
- I have hard that 3Com is going to produce a new EISA Ethernet card,
- product name is 3C579, about $300. I cannot remember SMC/WD's ESIA
- card name, but the price is about $650.
-
- I'm now using SMC/WD 8013EBC(Plus Elite/16) with DX2-66 + 8.33MHz
- EISA bus speed, and can get 450kbyte/s for ftp (over 4Mbps).
- Is this speed very slow for you? I'm almost satisfied.
