Additional Notes
This self extracting zip file contains all of the drivers which are in the original disk that came when I bought 3 of these cards. I am currently using the drivers on win98 and winnt, so I know they work on atleast these two systems. This card (RTL8029AS) works in half duplex or full duplex, but you hub must support full duplex for it to work or else you will get a lot of collisions. If you get a lot of collisions switch it to half duplex and this might fix this problem. I'm not using the BNC connector so I don't know if it works if full duplex. Enjoy...(1/08/00)
