10/100 Mbps PCI Network Adapter

This 3Com PCI network card adds a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection to a desktop computer. It plugs into a 32-bit PCI slot and uses an RJ45 connector for standard twisted-pair cabling. Driver support covers Windows 95, 98 and NT for legacy system maintenance. The card is supplied new and ready for installation.

Suits legacy desktops needing wired Ethernet

This adapter fits older PCs that have an available 32-bit PCI slot and require a basic 10/100 Mbps wired link. It will not serve systems that lack PCI slots, need Gigabit speeds or rely on modern operating systems beyond Windows NT. Buyers restoring vintage hardware or maintaining industrial equipment running Windows 95, 98 or NT will find it appropriate.

Interface: 32-bit PCI

The card connects exclusively through a 32-bit PCI bus, so the host motherboard must provide a matching slot. No other interface option exists on this model. Confirm the presence of a free 32-bit PCI slot before purchase, as newer boards often omit this connector entirely.
