Adding an ISA Ethernet card today so I can test my website using the only performance test that matters: Netscape Navigator on my 486.

Oh my wow... the ISA Ethernet card is... NEW IN THE BOX.

I... did not realize this when a client gifted it to me after cleaning out a networking closet.

I just unsealed it- will now take photos and blog it assuming everything is working as I'm expecting.

@vkc I am having flashbacks to installing 100+ NE2000 compatable ISA NICS on Windows 95 machines. They had a RJ45 and a BNC connector, we used the RJ45, and I took all the T connectors for the BNC attached them together in the worst, crokedest but chromeiest snake ever.
