Subject: Digital kinda ethernet card?
I noticed my friends AlphaServer 2100 has the same
card poking out the
back
as one of the cards in my neatly sorted pile of old
ethernet cards. The
card is ISA and the back looks as follows from bottom to top, RJ45, fat
LED, DB15 with a screw post on each end, fat LED. Is this a ethernet card?
Sounds like it. If you look closely at the metal backplate, it will have
DExxx where xxx= number i.e 203 or 205 etc engraved on it if it's a Digital
card. (Not to mention Digital logos all over the card itself.)
