Dear all,

Do you know whether VLB 100MBit NW card exists? I read in the forum that there are some out but only few to none use advantage of VLB bandwidth benefits.

So is the search worth it?

Really? I thought all the existing VLB NICs were 10Mbit. If 100MBit exists, I'd certainly like to know about it. If not, then maybe it could be an interesting DIY project for somebody in the future.

I think you're confusing what you read about 100Mbit cards for ISA. But, even though those cards are bottlenecked, they can still manage 20Mbit I believe, which is certainly better.

VLB IO card that is in my todo list has a 1Gbit NIC component but when it ever gets built I have no idea 🤣

As far as I know, there's a bunch of 10 Mbps cards for VLB, but no 100 Mbps ones.
