I have docs for a 3c595 on my desk right now; it's dual-mode 10/100
Mbit.  I think the 10Mbit-only card is a 3c590.  These are both
bus-mastering, but in other ways mostly compatible with a 3c5x9).
The significant differences seem to be bus-mastering, and 13-bit
wide counters instead of 11-bit wide.  The registers are otherwise
largely compatible with PIO adapters.

I beleive an EISA version of the 10/100Mbit card is in development.
