@datenwolf@chaos.social @tom_verbeure@mastodon.social @azonenberg@ioc.exchange @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems Oooh, I had a batch of those once! Installed on a couple of office computers as a 100Mbit upgrade, and then they didn't work thanks to collisions! No wonder they were cheap. Edit: actually they weren't even cheap. I remember jumping into my car and driving to Dixons to grab a bunch of cards to replace them because they were needed *now*

@datenwolf@chaos.social @azonenberg@ioc.exchange @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @M0KHR@mastodon.radio Way too expensive! All I remember is that they were NE2000 compatible but Novell was too expensive as well. We used a single coax cable instead of UTP.
