I'm also looking for an 8-bit ISA ethernet card with a twisted pair port. It appears that strict 8-bit ISA ethernet cards were relatively uncommon.
I've created an ISA bus adapter for my PCjr. It works just fine for a hard disk adapter, and now that that's working, I'd like to put my PCjr on the network.
My problem is that this is only an 8-bit ISA bus and most of the ISA ethernet cards I've found are 16-bit ISA or 8/16-bit. The 8/16-bit cards usually don't offer the range of IRQ settings I'd need for the PCjr. Specifically, I need to be able to set the card to IRQ2.
The total hardware guide (http://www.embeddedlogic.com/TH99/) has a nice breakdown of network cards and lists a number of 8-bit cards (and their jumper settings).
Ideally, I've love to get a D-Link DE-100TP
