RE: Older Intel Pro 100VE Network Adaptor

[BJohn27]

I have spent a small fortune in time trying to find the specs on this desktop adaptor and searching through the volume of information on the Intel Support site I was unable to find anything of value to help me try and identify what kind of a card this is - PCI, PCI Express or What? Can someone please help shed some light on this mysterious card. I would like to put them to use old as they may be but I still have a lot of legacy equipment that still works

Thanks! And hope someone can help me out on this one.

It`s a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_and_Networking_Riser CNR card - http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-012904.htm http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-012904.htm

Again, my question still exists through the mountain of information presented at Intel.com, I have read tons of information on this card but nothing really tells me what I am looking for. A CNR. card? Is that some kind of vendor specific thing?

The Wikipedia article given contain all information needed about CNR. Here is a card picture -

Unlikely you will find anything suitable for such card - support was dropped around i845 chipset line.
