Yes, the info in the video section on Lowendmac.com is pretty sketchy on these cards. For one thing, I have the XL2, which isn't even mentioned. For another, all of the above cards have 10baseT built in (not on a daughter card) but that isn't mentioned. The XL2 has a 10base2 connector, the BNC you mention in your next posting, I suspect. The daughter card ethernet is on the Futura IISX. The Colorlink had it built in to the main card. I guess that was the Colorlink's claim to fame. Anyway, googling turned up about six links. There's somewhat more in dejanews (google groups) but nothing about Open Transport compatibility. Most of the posts probably predate wide spread use of Open Transport.

Jeff Walther There's something here about the card: http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/radius/emfut2.html There's an indication that the card has a BNC connector, not an ethercard connector (?), and it won't run well past System 7.5 using eMachines' Control Panel JG -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

E-Machines ColorLink Video/E-net Card
Anyone using a Colorlink card by Emachines? Is the ethernet portion compatible with Open Transport? I ask, because I have a Futura IISX with the ethernet daughterboard and the card freezes my IIci when the OT extensions load. It works fine with Classic Networking. So I'm wondering if the ColorLink has the same problem. Jeff Walther -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
