SMC 10/100 PCI Network Card
The SMC Smc1211Tx adds a wired 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection to any desktop with a free 32-bit PCI slot. It targets older systems that lack onboard networking or need a second port for a segregated LAN segment.
32-Bit PCI Build and Boot ROM Socket
The card uses a standard 32-bit PCI bus interface measuring 9 by 6.7 by 1.6 units. An empty boot ROM socket is provided for network boot scenarios, while early receive and transmit functions reduce host CPU overhead during packet handling.
Legacy OS Driver Upgrade Path
Driver support spans Windows 95, 98, Me, NT and 2000 plus Linux, NetWare and OS/2 with packet driver options. The jump is worthwhile when replacing a failed 10Base-T adapter or adding wired connectivity to a machine that cannot accept PCI Express cards.

Questions about this item
Does the 32-bit PCI bus limit real-world throughput below the 100 Mbps rating?
The 32-bit PCI bus provides ample bandwidth for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, so the card reaches its rated line speed.
Will the 9 x 6.7 x 1.6 cm board fit in a low-profile or slimline chassis?
The card measures 9 x 6.7 x 1.6 cm and uses a standard PCI bracket; verify your case has a full-height slot opening.
How do I install the driver for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT or 2000?
Insert the card into a free 32-bit PCI slot, boot the OS, then run the supplied setup to load the NDIS driver.
