From what I can find it is a combination of voltage level and

LattisNet and Ethernet of uTP are reputed to work, as LattisNet was very
close to what became the standard. No joy for me.
I thought the AUI transceivers grew on trees .. I don't mind paying
some money, but to put things in perspective I bought the cards for
$1.50 so I really don't want to pay 6 to 10x more for a commodity part.

The bad news
is that I have a few more of these cards but the twisted pair
connector is designed for LattisNet. LattisNet is a precursor to the standard
Ethernet over twisted pair and it is supposed to be close, but my hubs aren't
buying it.
Do you know what the differences are? Does your ethernet card use a
standard chip for the twisted pair connector -- if so, can you trace out
the circuitry round it to see how it differs from a normal 10baseT
design. It might just be the connector pinout or something.
