The driver was windows specific and the chipset wasn't capable of bi-directional operation, so I threw money at it, about $15 at the time, and bought a card with a StarTech label on the box and was based on a non-netmos chip whose number I do not now recall. It worked without a hiccup for several years, until I replaced both of those machines with D525MW based ARK shoeboxes. gmane may be able to spit out the thread where I discussed it with some of the kind people on this list. I originally had a 6 month expiry on this list, which I took off in 2010, so my emc email corpus doesn't go back that far. I may even have the card tossed in a scrap box someplace in the midden heap of my shop building up on the hill, but its going to have to warm up 40F before I do any excavation looking for it. But IIRC it is a std pci card, not PCI-e, and that may not be usable at this late date in any machine that has surived the ravages of time.
So I'll shut up and hope someone else has a better answer. I'd spend a few more $ and put a 5i25 card in the machine, far more capable as you don't have to worry about software stepping, the card does it and the machines working speed can often be tripled compared to software stepping. See John Thornton's site <www.mesaus.com> mentioned a week or 2 back up the list. Or the <www.Mesanet.com> site. Under anything i/o.
