I have a generic 486DX2 66 system with an Intel Etherexpress 8/16 ethernet adapter plugged into a 16 bit ISA slot. Last night, I was reviewing the setting using SoftSet and noticed it was set to "Force 8 bit mode". Upon further investigation, it does that when used in a system with greater than 12mhz buss(if I remember correctly the buss on this system runs at 33mhz). So I guess I need a faster card. Any sugestions? Does the 3Com Etherlink III run in 16 bit mode on a 33mhz bus?
