Well, many cards are universal, ie. keyed for both 3.3v and 5v. > I've updated to the latest firmware with no change. >=20 > I know this is a little off topic for the list, but it's my guess that > not very many other people except Linux users are putting weird hardware > in their PARISC workstations. >=20 > Anyways, if anyone knows of ethernet cards that will work on a C160 - if > you have similar hardware and a success story - I would appreciate > hearing about it. I can't speak about C160, but in my C240 I was able to use a DEC tulip and also a Intel EtherExpress PRO 100. I didn't have so much luck with a noname ne2k and some 3com Vortex, but it was about 3-4 years ago since I last tried ... Anyway I think a DEC Tulip card should be your best bet.
