AsantéNIC-PCI Adapter

 

The AsantéNIC-PCI provides a cost-effective solution for increased network 
performance. Using this adapter, your throughput will dramatically increase 
in comparison to any ISA, EISA, or NuBus cards. Using bus-mastering archi-
tecture and burst mode, bottlenecks are minimized and file transfers are pre-
vented from over-loading the host CPU. 

Installation is simplistic compared to ISA or EISA card installations. Simply 
plug the PCI adapter into your PC or Power Macintosh and let the adapter 
self-configure to your system during power-up. The AsantéNIC-PCI adapter 
will automatically configure all I/O addresses and interrupts on the PCI sys-
tem.
