:  ARE ALL NE2000 COMPATABLE NETWORK CARDS 16-BIT??

:  JUST REPLY HERE

oh great... a post with an attitude!

ne1000 is the 8 bit equivilent of the ne2000 which is 16 bit!
or visa versa, so....

ne1000 is 8 bit
ne2000 is 16 bit

and the short answer:
yes, all ne2000 are 16 bit!

why would you bother forging a post asking such a harmless 
question Mr SUCKME@HDGFJH.JHGF.HFG.COM.au?
