http://jnork.nonken.net/mymac/
The latest: I've bought a new CS II Ethernet card on eBay. The seller claims it worked and has given a non-DOA guarantee. I can't get either card to work. Neither one lights up (green light on the back). The network cable is home-made and works fine on the PC I set up (has been working fine on several systems over several months, in fact). I've tried plugging it into a 10baseT hub and a 10/100 N-way autosensing switch. No joy. The hub and switch don't show a connection there, either. (Both have been working fine for years.)
The majority of the 54/5500s that I have worked on needed to be woke up. Hook everything up, to the hub, boot the Mac, and then put AppleTalk to Ethernet. If, when you pull up the AppleTalk control panel, ethernet is not a choice, then either the card, the connector on the logicboard or the logicboard is bad.
