Have not tried an SBus ethernet card. >but keep in mind that if you collect other older hardware, this problem >isn't limited to asente nic's for Mac's Again, luck must be on my side, as my MicroVAX 3100-40 also has no problem negotiating with a NetGear 10/100 DS104 hub. Now my PDP 11/23 (with RT-11 V5) might be problematic, although I do not have TCP/IP installed nor do I have an ethernet card for that system, so have not tried.
