Here is the latest "blank" card for it's last round of suggestions before I start to ask users/manufacturers to fillin all the blanks for the cards.

How do people feel about adding Manufacturers List price to the ethernet score card? I don't want this document to be restricted in distribution by people who might mistake it for a huge marketing blurb. I need some insight from anyone who might know if it would be restricted in distribution if it had lots of prices etc in it. I was just going to have addresses/phone numbers and if you are serious you call the manufacturer. As an aside I have been trying to get intouch with the old PCIP scorecard maintainer but I have had no luck so far. Would people like to see that updated as well. Maybe there will be 3 scorecards.

Over the next couple of days I will be posting "blanks" which I would like to see if people can fillin. Preferences would be for the vendors to respond with a filled in card, but users filling in the blanks from manuals will also suffice. If you know of other manufacturers/card model numbers please send them in as well. How do people feel about including prices? Would this be contrary to what a scorecard is for? Very soon there should be some more details for some of the cards available. I have a Packet driver and a NDIS driver tester which will give maximum packets per second transmitting & receiving (I still have to find something which can generate piles of transactions, IE fastest transmitting card out there) Here is a list of the manufacturers/model numbers I have ready to be filled in. 3COM 3C501 Etherlink 3C503 Etherlink II 3C505 Etherlink Plus 3C523 Etherlink/MC Accton EN1801-20 EtherPair-8T EN1817-20 EtherPair-8WBT EN1602-20 EtherPair-16NT EN1622-20 EtherPair-NE2T EN1619 EtherPair-HPT EN1801 EtherPair-8 EN1807 EtherPair-8W EN1817 EtherPair-8WB EN1602-N2 EtherPair-16N EN1622 EtherPair-NE2 EN1809 EtherCoax-8 EN1808 EtherCoax-8W EN1818 EtherCoax-8WB EN1603-N2 EtherCoax-16N EN1623 EtherCoax-NE2 EN1620 EtherCoax-HP EN2201 EtherPocket-10T EN2202 EtherPocket-CX Acer Acer 5250 Artisoft Lantastic AE-2 AST AST Ethernet Adapter AT&T Ethernet board BICC ISOLAN 4110-2 ISOLAN 4110-3 ISOLAN 4101-0 ISOLAN 4102 Cabletron E1000 E2000 E3000 CNET CN100E CN200E CN300E CN700E CN800E CSS LAN 2000 Datatech DTK Ethernet LAN Card D-Link DE100 (old DE001) DE200 DE300 (old DE001/2) DE100TP DE200TP DE300TP DE600TP Earth Earthnet-Ie Everex Speedlink MCA Speedlink PC Speedlink PC16 Speedlink TP Speedlink TP16 EXCELAN EXOS205 Gateway G/Ethernet PC G/Ethernet AT G/Ethernet MCA Hayes Ethermate 8 Ethermate 8 UTP Ethermate Trio 16 IMC PCnic coaxial PCnic II MCA PCnic AT PCnic AT II MCA PCnic TP IQ p-Lan p-Lan Thin Ethernet p-Lan Twisted Pair Ethernet p-Lan Thick Ethernet KATRON ET100 ET100-T ET120 ET200 ET200-T MULTITECH NOVELL NE1000 NE2000 NE2000-2 NE3200 EISA RACAL INTERLAN NI5010-1 NI5010-2 NI5210-8 NI5210-16 NI5210-8 STP NI5210-16 STP NI5210-8 UTP NI5210-16 UTP NI5210-8 10BT NI5210-16 10BT NI6510 NI6510 UTP NI6510 10BT NI9210 NI9210 UTP NI9210 10BT NP600A NP600 UTP ES3210 Standard Microsystems Corporation TIARA LanCard E Ungermann-Bass PC-NIC Univation LifeLink WD WD8003E Ethercard Plus WD8003S ?

Here is a sample and how it should be layed out. If people want to save themselves extra typing they can send me a list of the cards they can fillin the blanks for and I will then keep a list of people for each card so that we don't end up with 10 people typing in the same one. Thanx. Hopefully we can get all the cards (or a majority of the popular ones) filled in and then the completed ones posted to usenet.

I havn't gotten any submissions from any manufacturers/users yet but here is a starting point so people can see what we can end up with. This card has entries for the NI6510 and NI6510-10BT and NI6510-UTP. Once I have verified that they are all the same card with just different drivers the duplicated lines will be removed to save space. Maybe rather than filling in blank cards people should just send me the details listed out and I will fit all the details together into these layouts. They way I can add new columns as need be.

Here is a preliminary scorecard for the WesternDigital line of ethernet cards. There has been lots of response for people wanting copies of the scorecard but I have had only 2 pieces of information mailed in. If this scorecard is to succeed I will need some more input from the people who have cards.
