I have several of those in my Box-O'-Cards too. 905 PCI cards, and even a few 509 ISA jobs as well.
I actually used one a while back on a persnickety MoBo that I needed to PXE boot, and for which I had a later Rev card that was capable of that... had to find the 3Com util that enabled it on the card tho... (altho IIRC, the actual PXE text on the screen during boot said something like "Intel Pre-eXecution boot Environment v0.9") -sc > -----Original Message----- > From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 10:33 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: My whole network went down! > > On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 6:08 PM, Phil Brutsche <[email protected]> > wrote: > > 10-15 years ago 3com 3c905 10/100 PCI NICs used to have horrible > > problems autonegotiating with Cisco 2900XL switches, and probably > > other Cisco models too.
