Compatible NIC

[sigmend]

Short story shorter, I need a 2nd nic for my g5
I don't need dual channel 2Gb Fibre or crap like that.
just 10/100 (or 10/100/1000)
What is compatible with my g5?

make sure you double check usb adapters as last time I was looking I couldn't find any that supported OS X

Hrrm, it says 32/64bit (why would the specs sheet be outdated?)
but
33/66Mhz bus speed adaptive DMA... I have 100/133
What is adaptive DMA?

Sorry if my post is incoherent, im sleepy

The pdf that I downloaded had no mention of the G5, but when I checked the support section, it does in fact state g5 support,

hmmm

Just like on a PC, most but not all PCI-X and 64-Bit PCI slots are backward compatible to PCI, generally the newer PCI devices that have 2 cuts dividing the PCB connector into 3 portions. Anyways, like I said most are backward compatible, and even some PCI64 devices work in PCI32 slots just leaves part of the connector hanging out but interestingly enough it works fine albeit not as fast. Good luck it'll probably work, I did see alot of Asante in the Made4Mac section but no mention of G5 yet, although I bet it will work.
