12 early ISA 8 bit and 16 bit PC network cards. The lower right-most card is an early wireless network card, and the central card with partial beige plastic cover is a PSTN modem. Intel Ophir 82571 dual-port Gigabit Ethernet controller die. Network controllers were originally implemented as expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus.
The Am7990 is an Ethernet media access controller (MAC) controller introduced in 1985. [1] [2] LANCE, short for "local area network controller for Ethernet", is also the brand name for follow-up versions of the chip.
The Killer NIC (Network Interface Card), from Killer Gaming (now a subsidiary of Intel Corporation), is designed to circumvent the Microsoft Windows TCP/IP stack, and handle processing on the card via a dedicated network processor. Most standard network cards are host based, and make use of the primary CPU.
Super I/O (sometimes Multi-IO) [1] is a class of I/O controller integrated circuits that began to be used on personal computer motherboards in the late 1980s, originally as add-in cards, later embedded on the motherboards. A super I/O chip combines interfaces for a variety of low-bandwidth devices.
In audio and broadcast engineering, audio over Ethernet (AoE) is the use of an Ethernet-based network to distribute real-time digital audio.AoE replaces bulky snake cables or audio-specific installed low-voltage wiring with standard network structured cabling in a facility.
3Com 3c509 is a line of Ethernet IEEE 802.3 network cards for the ISA, EISA, MCA and PCMCIA computer buses. [1] It was designed by 3Com and put on the market in 1992, followed by the improved version 3c509B in 1994. [1] [2]
A 6U VPX board features six 16-column 7-row RT2/RVPX connectors and one 8-column 7-row RT2/RVPX connector, while a 3U board features two 16-column 7-row RT2/RVPX connectors and one 8-column 7-row RT2/RVPX connector. Also new for VPX boards are alignment/keying blocks which are designed to be sufficiently robust to prevent pin stubbing.
Mini-ITX boards primarily appeal to the industrial and embedded PC markets, with the majority sold as bulk components or integrated into a finished system for single-purpose computing applications. They are produced with a much longer sales life-cycle than consumer boards (some of the original EPIAs are still available), a quality that ...
