Is there any reason to choose one over the other?
We don't expect to use the other slot or either of the serial ports. We
would be running some light AppleTalk and Internet applications which
would use the ethernet along with display and hard disk access.
It's a stretch for me, but I don't think you'll be able to use a PDS card in
your 6200. There're good specs for Comm Slot I cards, and I'd use them just
to prevent any additional troubleshooting in setting up and balancing the
network.
I expect it's a toss-up. Both would be 10BaseT ports. I have used both in
6200, 6300 and 5200 machines with good results. I would make my decision
on which card I could get the cheapest!
I'll go with that too. If you don't want to use the serial ports for anything, either will do, and either will work just as well as the other. If you ever feel you're going to use the PDS slot for anything other than ethernet, it might be worth leaning towards a comm slot ethernet card, as that then leaves you with the flexibility to use the PDS slot for all those other uses for a PDS slot.
