EtherLink III adapters 3C509, 3C509-TP, and
3C509-COMBO are ISA adapters. If you are not sure
what type of adapter you have, refer to Figure 1-1 and
Table 1-1.
EISA computers come with an automatic configuration
program that allocates the system's resources to each
device in the computer. Putting the 3C509, 3C509-TP,
or 3C509-COMBO adapter in EISA mode allows it to be
automatically configured by that program to the correct
settings for the EISA computer. The ISA adapter can
also be changed back to work in an ISA computer.
