Would a Zorro III X-Surf work at 100Mb/s?

Many years ago I messed with an ISA 100 Mbps card in one of our - even then ancient - Netware 4 servers. I got it to work more or less but the performance wasn't exciting.
As Chris wrote, there's not much point in having a 100 Mbps connect reported that is no faster than a 10 Mbps connect.

I'm currently fiddling around with my new Prometheus bus board (anyone's got a spare Voodoo 3?) and a RTL8139, but I have no hope that throughput moves beyond 1 MB/s, if at all.

Are you sure it's a RTL8139? AFAIK only RTL8029 is stable with the current firmware.

OpenPCI has got a pretty brand new driver which should actually work - worth a try since I've got a 8139 at hand.

I'm still looking for a Voodoo though - I've been told that Prometheus doesn't work without a PCI frame buffer serving as local RAM.
Just bought one at ebay, inquired before bidding that it really was PCI, wrote it on the bank transfer and I got - an AGP. sigh... :roll:
