OK, I'll make a start at this. There will probably be some fairly
glaring errors/ommisions here but...

Ether1: Original Acorn ethernet podule. 10base5 and 10base2 connections.
Ether2: Acorn 10base2 podule
Ether3: 10base2/10baseT podule. I believe that there are several varients
        of this card.
EtherB: ANT RiscPC netcard slot thingy. 10baseT connector.
EtherH: I-cubed's RiscPC netcard slot thingy. 10baseT and 10base2
EtherM: ANT's latest. 10baseT and 10base2

10base5 is `thick wire' ethernet
10base2 is `thin wire' ethernet, which uses coax cable
10baseT is twisted pair.

Hope this helps,
