• Where is the Eurobrigade when you need it? Re: Looking for MCA LAN Adap

    Folks on the wrong side of the pond should step up for this. Shipping
    from the US will be a bit.

    I have in my home network a wireless router with Ethernet RJ45 cables and WLAN and want to connect my PS/2 to router with Ethernet cable.
    So I need a MCA Ethernet Adapter with RJ45 connector but these seems to be quite rare and hard to find.

    You got it mixed up, Louis. It's you who is on the *wrong* side of the pond.

    Anyway, I recently got some DEC EtherWorks adapters: https://www.ardent-tool.com/NIC/DEC_EtherWorks.html

    They are not the best for multitasking environments (see here: https://www.ardent-tool.com/NIC/Ethernet_Bench.html). But they should be perfectly fine for the occasional file transfer or some light vintage
    web browsing.

    The adapters look good visually but are untested. I can test one before shipping if you are willing to wait. Or we can YOLO it, up to you. You
    can have it for the shipping costs (I'm from the Czech Republic, so
    shipping to Finland should be relatively cheap).

    Pertti, email me if you are interested.
