I'm inquiring to see if anyone has a spare 10/100 card for the Apple Network
Server line. This is different than the usual Power Macintosh 10/100 FAST
Ethernet card -- it resembles that card, but has two LEDs (IIRC) instead of
four. If you have one that you are willing to part with or deal over, please
contact me off list. It would go to a good home, namely my 500 and 700 systems
(the 500 is sending you this message, in fact, and has been my primary
production server since 1998).

Will pretty much any card with a DEC chip on it work? Though come to
think of it I think I went the other way and put an Apple NIC from my
8500/180 into an AlphaStation 200 4/233 so maybe not. This is old
enough that it requires special firmware doesn't it?

You should be able to use an RS/6000 Type 9-P 10/100 Ethernet TX card.
They are much easier to find than the Apple card, and are electrically
equivalent.

Right. I don't think those will (although the Apple NICs usually used
some sort of Tulip controller, so I'm not surprised the DEC worked okay with
it).

Yeah, I forgot you're dealing with "Aches". :^)
