If you don't mind having >1000 Interrupts/sec while transferring a huge

PCI ne2000-clones are a little bit better than ISA ones (wait state et.al.).

But why not spending 20$ more and buy something useful?
I think the kingston ones (dec2114* clones) are rather cheap and good
for PCI. For ISA I would recommend some SMC ones with 16k memory mapping.
