Oldest PC ethernet cards?
-------------------------
Drifting slightly back on topic, which companies made the earliest ethernet
cards for PCs? How much did they originally cost?
I've seen Ungerman-Bass AUI ethernet cards that were approximately $900
new. There was also a company that got bought be 3COM that had an early
NIC. Perhaps one of the cooler ones would be a 3 mbit card used at PARC to
talk to their network.
