But, there is an economical problem. Usually, EISA Ehternet cards are much expensive than ISA cards, for example, NOVEL NE3000 $700 Intel EtherExpress $550 No bland maker $250 - $400 I have hard that 3Com is going to produce a new EISA Ethernet card, product name is 3C579, about $300. I cannot remember SMC/WD's ESIA card name, but the price is about $650. I'm now using SMC/WD 8013EBC(Plus Elite/16) with DX2-66 + 8.33MHz EISA bus speed, and can get 450kbyte/s for ftp (over 4Mbps). Is this speed very slow for you? I'm almost satisfied. -- Ikuro aoki@risk.Stanford.EDU
