I plugged one of those ointo an old winbox the other day.
The NIC seemed to work OK once I download the setup util from the web and
told windows to use the resources I set up in dos.
The util is actually a pretty big file (6Mg I think) and works on a number
SMC NICs.
I would recomend trying that to make sure that it respondes etc.. and to set
the resources so there are no confiicts.
The funny looking port on that is an AUI port. They use an external
tranceiver and are not common these days. You can ignore it.
Good Luck
Rich
