PCI is supposed to be 135mb/s max but I think real world it's @85.  ISA was supposed to be about 8mb/s but real world was @4.  At least this is what I recall reading about different buses.  Makes sense and is probably the reason why 10/100 ISA network cards were never made.

Oh well. :) Thanks for the correction. The question now is, why?  The card would, if 4mb/s is correct, saturate the bus...  I know I've never seen any.

Ok.  That explains why I haven't seen them.  Those would have been pretty expensive systems in their day.  I'm guessing the technology didn't trickle down to the general public.  PCI would have shown up by the time 10/100 became more mainstream...
