OK, getting ready to work on the networking and can't find the card.
Is the 3Com 10BaseT EISA 579 Network card supported/usable?
Could I replace it with a 3Com 3C509? (It's true, I haven't
a clue the difference between ISA and EISA.)

[Uh, to expand on that: the operating system can't seem to find
the card. I can see the card and it's plugged in. Under DOS
the card worked.]

[update: I've thrown a 3c509 in there and it's working, so I'll
use it for a week and then see if I've heard anything on the 
579.]

Thanks.

later, david
