| Drivers for this ethernet card |
Posted by: 68kAlex on 2013-08-27 01:57:30
Hi folks, I've found an ethernet card online for my LC475 but can see no indication of whether or not it includes drivers, or even the manufacturer. I have tried emailing the retailer but have got no response yet. This is the card:

It's a long shot, but can anyone tell me if this card will work without drivers on Mac OS 7.1, or alternatively, if the drivers are available to download anywhere?
Thanks

These PDS ethernet cards all work with the standard Apple network drivers.

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed to know.
Now to figure out the practicalities of networking my LC475 to a Windows 8 PC!

If the card is as it is stated there, a LC PDS AAUI variant, then you'll have to also (if you don't have one) go out and buy a AAUI to RJ45 Ethernet transceiver. Most of the LC PDS cards were of the RJ45 variant -- and I have spotted suitable candidates on ebay.co.uk for as little as £12.83 with free postage, which is...reasonable.
Setup, configuration and other details are covered in expansive detail in my signature.

Brilliant link there, thanks.
So how about this card? Will this one work without an adapter? I'm looking for a solution that will let me plug my LC475 into my Windows PC with minimal faff, hopefully to allow FTP file access.
