The Isolink card ran at once (probably the jumpers were at the right configuration, accidently). No tellin' if its a fast card, I don't have more than one computer (yet, there is a SUN3 about to appear...). The 8390-based boards worked OK, except the PCnic family. They should be software configured for IO address and such. The LCS-8634 tells me it's a NE2000 (16 bits) card. Does anyone know if I should believe it? The COM9026 hung the network here at SPaSE (that's where I work). Great fun (not). And the FreeBSD box tells me it doesn't exist. Thanks for your help.
