Which is why looking for an Adaptec 1640-series card is a very good
idea. I have two, and they're going to the grave with me. I keep
hoping I'll find a pallet of "new old-stock" cards somewhere, in which
case I'll share.
I know the 15xx numbers some, but not those that you refer to here --
what are they like?
The 15xx is the ISA version. The 16xx is MCA. Otherwise, very similar.
Ah, okay, gotcha. I've overall done very little with MCA stuff, and in
fact got rid of my one MCA machine to a listmember some time back. Now all I
need to do is find a home for this network card... :-)
