Wow, I was using those cards back in the early 90's with coax 10BT. I have a few laying around if anyone wants 'em. I was just about to toss them out along with a bunch of old Adaptec and Buslogic VLB and ISA narrow SCSI cards from the same era. My wife has become a lot less tolerant of my packrat ways with computer gear. 8-)
I would love to get my hands on some 3c509 cards. Unfortunately, sending them to me (Brazil) would cost more than getting some 3c905 boards here.
Those cards are great to connect old K6/Pentium machines (firewalls) to ADSL modems.
At one point, I had about 50 of them. When Netgear came out with cheap PCI 10/100 cards based on the DEC tulip chip, and Buslogic came out with the 946 PCI cards, we summarily punted all our remaining ISA/VLB cards and never looked back.
Next time I go to Brasil, I'll have to bring them along. 8-)
