I never tried an IBM PCMCIA EtherJet PC Card, but I can tell you my experiences with both 10 and 100 MBit cards: __________________ 10 MBit: __________________ I had a 3com 3c589d Combo first. This card was perfect, I never had a problem with it, but I needed a 100 MBit card then. I sold it to antother OS/2 user who is very satisfied with it. The only problem he had was on Win95: He had to boot in secure mode and set the card resources there. The following cards should work without problems: - 3com 3c589d - D-Link DE-650 __________________ 100 MBit: __________________ I have a "Xircom Credit Card Ethernet Adapter 10/100 Ready" (100 MBit) in my 760ED, but I had a lot of trouble making it work together with my Adaptec SlimSCSI in the other slot. LinkSys' EtherFast is the first 100 MBit card I heard of that comes with Drivers for OS/2 that *use socket services* (!). All other cards (Xircom, D-Link, Intel, ...) use a direct enabler AFAIK. This should not be a problem, but I wasn't able to turn off socket services for only 1 slot reliably with IBM's drivers (I had to install other pcmcia drivers). Now the xircom works on all my OSs: OS/2 Warp 4, NT 4.0, SuSE Linux 5.0 (2.0.33) and DOS/WfW. Nonetheless I'd recommend buying a LinkSys. See www.linksys.com for details.
