    Can anyone identify this card?

    I'm not sure quite how old this card is, but it was found in a drawer at home and i'd like to know what it is, i was thinking some kind of network card due to the port that looks like it could be for ethernet.

    Anyway here are the pics, sorry about the poor quality they were taken with my phone camera.





    Thanks

    The ports are, left-to-right, 10baseT, 10base5, and 10base2, all 10mbps Ethernet ports. The card is probably mid-90s vintage and seems to be EISA.

    "games controller" - shame on you staffsMike! LOL

    Re: Can anyone identify this card?

    I stand corrected on the names, i got confused beteen 10BaseT and 10Base2

    10Base5 is a new one on me though, never knew what that was

    Re: Can anyone identify this card?

    10Base5 - sometimes called thick ethernet with an AUI connector and locking latch - ahhh that takes me back to days of Novell Networks and thick ethernet transceivers.

    So it's not a PCB from a Central Heating Boiler with the pipe connection on it
