Introduction

This PCI Ethernet adapter is high performance
adapter compatible with version 2.1 of the PCI local
bus specification and support Plug and Play (PnP)
function, making it fully auto-configuration.

The adapter supports full-duplex mode. Full duplex
mode can be used to obtain throughput up to
20Mbps when the twisted-pair port connecting
through an Ethernet switching hub. This feature not
only increases the channel bandwidth from 10Mbps
to 20Mbps but also avoids the performance­degrading problem due to the characteristic of the
Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol.

The Ethernet adapter includes a complete set of
drivers for wide range of Network Operating
Systems. The optional BOOT ROM device allows
the diskless workstation to be connected to the
network.
