Our Biology department is going to buy a number of microchannel ethernet cards to run with PC-NFS. We are considering the 3C523 and WD8003E/A cards. The WD-card seems to need some packet-drivers with a cumbersome installation. The 3Com card is older but the PC-NFS installation program seems to support this card in a straightforward manner. My question is: Has the 3Com card any disadvantages compared to the WD-card (speed, later compatibility etc) ? Other recommended microchannel cards to run with PC-NFS in a straightforward manner? How does the corresponding AT-bus cards compare to this (we are going to buy some of those as well) ? Thanks in advance. Answer by E-mail or posting, whatever you find convenient. -- Oivind Toien <oivindt@ulrik.uio.no> Div. of General Physiology, Dept. of Biology, Univ. of Oslo P.O.
