The electrical connections on the card types are different and the physical difference prevents new cards from plugging into systems that don't support them. You can try to find a card that fits. It probably isn't worth paying extra for 100 Mbps since you'll be limited by the bandwidth (1/2 data width and slower) on the older bus. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] Texas Instruments [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG D8C3BBD2 CC08 D690 0B70 3C70 351E EB05 96A3 3789 D8C3 BBD2
