Hi,
On my small NetBSD box my IDE controller has decided to die and my
8900 based VGA is too slow I am going to be spending some money
tomorrow on a comibined VLB card. While I'm there I want to get a
16bit ethernet card like on my server.
I can get either a 3C509 or a SMC Elite Ultra. I think these are both
supported ? Apart from the price (the Elite is 10 pounds - 16 dollars
cheaper), is there anything in it for performace / machine load etc ?
Regards,
--
