I have to put in a good vote here - 3Com 3C503 (Etherlink II)
and 3Ccom 3C505B (Etherlink Plus) cards. There are numerous packet
drivers out there for DOS that use these cards, many of which you
can get source to, as well. And my school has close to a hundred
cards, all either a 3C505B or a 3C503 (many were donated by 3COM...
okay, well, 3COM was going to donate a lot, but they've only come
up with six. Anybody from 3Com out there? Your people here have
nixed a good PR opportunity...).
Seeing also as there are so many of these in use, I think
that somebody should write one. I'm not going to be like 90% of the
people on this group now and whine and argue that this is what people
should do (ie somebody ELSE should do), if nobody does start doing
one soon, then I'll step forward and do it. Just somebody definitely
needs to support these cards.
