Looks like a very old ethernet card....
Looks like a very old EISA ethernet card at that. I'm going to stick my neck out and say a Novell Ethernet T/TC?
Looks about right to me... Pehraps a serial controller onboard as well?
it also has one of those tv-tuner type input sockets.. I wonder what those do? too early for domestic fibre optics.. thats for sure..
man.. check out the size of those ICs...
Unless i'm mistaken, that looks more like an ethernet plug...
Correct!Quote:

TV aerial plug looks more like a BNC female connector (notice the little notch.) No idea about the internal connector though (looks similar to IDE/Floppy connectors)...
These were used for networking before RJ45s and serial connections.
BTW I have an ISA network card lying around with a BNC, RJ45 and RS232 serial connector which my dad mistakenly bought at the markets because they advertised it as a TV card.
Its not token-ring...it is a 10mb Ethernet card with Thin and Thick ethernet ports.
I remember throwing a load of those away.......back in 1992
The multiple connector is an AUI interface (Attachment Unit Interface) basically where thick wire ethernet transceivers connected to. As other have said, the BNC connector is for thin wire ethernet (co-ax cable!)
What's the multiple connector - the connector on the board or plate?Quote:
