PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0
AutoLink installation software installs and configures
16-bit Novell NetWare DOS ODI client software.
On-board RJ-45 and DB-9 ports provide connection
for unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted-pair (STP) cabling without using an external
media filter.
Auto Select Media Type capability enables drivers to
automatically detect the type of media connector
that connects the NIC to the network.
High-performance 32-bit PCI local bus interface with
bus mastering runs at a clock speed of 33 MHz,
increasing throughput dramatically while decreasing
CPU utilization.
Status LEDs indicate insertion into the ring and
transmission of data by the NIC.
Highly integrated design provides high reliability with
minimal power consumption.
