I could be wrong about this, but AFAIU, NE2000 is essentially a hardware reference platform that is limited to 10Mbps . To get more than that out of a card, you will need to use a driver compatible with your card's native mode, rather than its NE2000 compatibility mode . Thanks for replying, I was …

I don't know, but since you didn't mention it explicitly I have to ask if you tried another cable. other usual suspects would be driver or indeed some card configuration for which a suitable setup program should be found together with the driver on the original driver disk... :-) I've tried with …

Hi all, I've got a Netgear FA411, which is a 16-bit PCMCIA ethernet NIC, with 10/100Mbits speed, and it's NE2000 compatible. I'm using it on a HP 200LX Palmtop, eg a PC/XT architecture, but with a 80186 CPU. I'm using the "LXETH" DOS packet driver for NE2K compatible network cards, and have the NIC …

Always love to see projects like this being considered. Especially when they're controller related. The functionality here would be very similar Volo's adapter: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=73775 I have one of those, and I love it. It uses the PS/2 port where it can inject keypresses …
