....in my experience
with IBM network cards, if they're a round (i.e. BNC) connector,
they're probably the old "baseband" stuff that uses lots of coax cable
and a hub/amplifier, and work only with IBM PC-LAN Program and
NetBEUI....the number 2Mb/sec comes
to mind....
Are we talking about Arcnet here? When I think 2Mb/sec, BNC connector, and
8-bit bus, I think Arcnet, but there may have been others....
