My college sent out bids for network stuff including specifying the 8-bit WD Ethernet Plus Coax Card. Two bidders responded with alternatives: WD Ethernet Plus Elite Everex SpeedLink/PC Are these both equivalent to the WD E'net Plus Coax? The Everex has a BNC thin coax and a DB15 connector, and "meets IEEE 802.3 10Base5 and 10Base2." It uses IRQ 2,3,4,5 or 7. Please email; Purchasing is in a big rush. :-) Thanks, Pete -- Prof. Peter J.

They are fully equivalent, use eeprom instead of jumpers for configing. The drivers coming with the Elite may be used with the old cards, but not vice versa.
