> What brands of ethernet cards will work (I know Asante has one). Quite a lot of network cards have RealTek chipsets, but not necessarily any Mac drivers - you just install RealTek's Mac driver for that chipset from their website. I've got an Allied Telesyn AT-2500TX card in this, and while it has no Mac drivers, I have the "RTL8139x Driver" extension installed for all RealTek 8319-based cards and that works.
Being in the US, you'll probably be able to get one of the cards that, hopefully, other list members will be forthcoming to name. If no-one does, or you can't find them (being in the UK, I had no access to any of the cards anyone listed, sadly, or seemingly any other reasonably-priced Mac ones), try finding any RealTek-based card which has a RealTek Mac driver for it. In the end, I did find a cheap Mac-compatible one (it wasn't - I wrote on the order form that it had to be Mac compatible (despite their order site saying that it was, I had a feeling that it wasn't, possibly from research), and they phoned and offered to send, instead, one that was - didn't cost much more). Something I should ask the list - is it normal for music on the machine to temporarily cut out if I do something like scroll the screen while there is high speed network access taking place? Or is my driver just acting up? -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
