I'm trying to find a network adapter to stick into one of my AT&T PC-6300's that has an RJ45 port. The problem being is I have 3 adapters to choose from,
1.) NE2000 RTL8019AS based card, will it work in 8-bit mode?
2.) UMC9008F based card, can't find ANYTHING on this, except for the "Novel Netware" ready sticker. I'm sure if I search through my old hard drives I'll find some specific drivers for this as I know it came out of my AST Adventure! 400.
3.) Somewhere I have an Intel 8\16 TP card, haven't seen it since 2010 so that tells you where it's at, and problem being is I'm sure I would have better luck with this one.
The reason for needing an RJ45 port is because I really don't have the hardware to run a BNC network (sure I can run cards, but that excludes cabling, terminators, etc). I can't run AUI because who in their right mind has that? I've never even physically seen anything except for the connectors, and Wireless is out of the question because, as far as I know, there never were any ISA wireless cards. I also need to be able to tap into my already-existing network as I want to try and run an IRC client on it as a "hey! I'm IRCing on an 8 MHz 8086!" thing.
Thanks!
