If you pick up these network analyzer machines, the software licenses
were locked to the NIC cards. If they come wiped, you are out of luck
and likely will never need the NIC card. However companies like Dolch
used the NIC cards as license keys so when the NIC failed you were sol
getting supplrt w/o going to their service to get it replaced.

Hi
I just did a little more searching on the net.
It has a seperate Ethernet card that I'm sure is 10base. It has
the 8 pin RJ45, coax and connector to a eithernet driver for the old
triax cable.
It seems that this was intended to be a network analyser machine.
I see various similar machines on ebay. It was called a Network Sniffer.
I wouldn't know 850nm from 1300nm. The optical ports are retangular,
about 1.5x3/8 in.
I picked it up because it has a nice 486 that I can run my EP10
programmer from that is more compact than my desk top and monitor.
It has a 400Meg HD and color LCD.
A similar machine is ebay #330383454040 but with a different ethernet
card.
The keyboard is flakey ( multiple letters on some keys ) but
I can clean these up.

Hi
Does anyone need an EISA optical link card set.
<snip>
It is a two card set with an in/out optical connector
on each board and what looks like a regular 6 pin
eithernet on one board.
While I'm not interested, can you please clarify what it is that you
have?
Is this an ethernet card? If so, is it a 10base-FL card? There was
also an older FOIRL standard. Is it 100base-FX/SX ? Multimode 850nm or
1300nm optics?
Ethernet typically has an RJ45, which is an 8-pin modular connector.
Four pins are active for 10mb and 100mb on copper, pins 1&2 and 3&6.
Thanks
Keith
