shortly after 3 came out, I moved to a Mac. A few years ago I build
a Pentium 233 to run OS/2 Warp 3 on, and the hardest part was getting
a compatible network card (out of a whole box I had one compatible
card).
Until recently, when my NICs have been on the mobo, I made it a point to
purchase only cards with NE2000 compatibility. Heck, I've even got a
couple Artisoft cards with jumperable NE1000/2000 compatiblity. I never
had a problem getting anything to run with these--drivers are ubiquitous.
I have some of those (compatibles, dunno what they actually are) and a fair
number of 3c509 cards, if anybody needs some.
