I think they made a 3c509C as well, but I could be quite wrong on this. And I second these as working very well; this message will travel across two of them. The 3c589 (I think) has worked well enough; my mom is still using one on her (Windows 2000 Professional) laptop. I used to have a 3c900 (I think, I remember the Linux kernel identifying it as a Vortex/Boomerang chipset or some such) in my other computer, and it worked well enough for what I used it for (it was a 10MBps PCI card on what was originally primarily a Windows gaming box that got repurposed into a GNU/Linux workstation) but I'm not exactly singing its praises. -- Shawn K.
