3Com 8352-10 ISA Ethernet Network Interface Card
3Com 8352-10 ISA Ethernet Network Interface Card
Description:
The 3Com EtherLink III ISA Network Interface Card, part number 8352-10, delivers 10 Mbps Ethernet on IBM PC-compatible systems via the ISA bus. This combo NIC provides dual media options: a RJ-45 10BASE-T port for twisted‑pair Ethernet and an AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) connector for external transceivers, enabling connections to both modern 10BASE-T networks and classic AUI-based media such as 10BASE2 with the appropriate adapter. The card is designed for legacy ISA-based desktop machines and is commonly cataloged as EtherLink III ISA TP Ethernet RJ-45/AUI Network Adapter, confirming its media options and compatibility with older LAN topologies. In practical terms, it lets you equip an old PC with Ethernet capability or integrate legacy ISA hosts into a 10 Mbps Ethernet backbone, making it well suited for retrocomputing setups and vintage network labs. Typical use cases include upgrading vintage desktops or servers to network access, connecting to legacy coax-based networks via AUI, and maintaining compatibility with historic Ethernet installations where newer adapters won’t fit the ISA slot or media requirements.
