Powerful Performance This adapter operates in the 32-bit Bus Master mode, delivering throughputs at multi-megabits per second with little stress on the host's CPU. Supporting PCI clock speeds independently of the network clock, it transfers data directly to/from the host's memory, by-passing the CPU to alleviate the host's workload.

Auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Interface The adapter's single connector connects to either 10BASE-T Ethernet or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet completely without any need to set configuration. It detects the capability of the connected hub or switch and auto-negotiates to use the highest available speed.

Full Duplex Support Full/half duplex operation is auto-detected in both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX modes. When connected to a switch in full duplex, the network speed can be increased to 200Mbps, making the adapter an ideal NIC for high-speed server deployment.

Network Security Network administrators can install optional Boot ROM's on the adapters to implement network security thereby creating Diskless workstations that can remote boot from NetWare or Windows NT servers.

Comprehensive Driver Support The adapter supports all major network operating systems, including NetWare, Windows NT, Windows 95, 98 and Unix.
