I've got a 6500 at a very small nonprofit that really should be networked to the other (gasp) 2 macs, both with built-in ethernet.
Anyone have good leads on very cheap Comm Slot II Enet cards? Or PCI cards for the 6500.
Thanks.
I've found the cheapest card to be the PCI Realtek RTL 8139 series which you can pick up from any PC store pretty much for around �5. Mac drivers are on the internet for OS 8.5-9.2.2 and OS X. It's 10/100 and tiny and cheap and effective :)
I concur, I've used several cards from different board manufacturers that use the RealTek chip set. They've been great. Cheapest I found were US$1 (no slot cover) and the most recent I bought were US$2.50. If I find them for more than US$5 I think twice about getting them.
I've but them in a variety of 601/604 PPC machines, I think a 6500 and several Beige G3s running OS 9.1 and OS X.2. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
