SMC EtherEZ ISA Ethernet Adapter Information

Click box to request more information

SMC's EtherEZ Ethernet adapters are so simple to install and use, they go beyond Plug and Play!

These 16-bit ISA adapters support the Plug and Play (PnP) specification, making them fully auto-configurable in a PnP computer-simply install the adapter and power up. No more fussing with jumpers to resolve conflicts, no more guessing which settings are already in use: the EtherEZ adapter and your PnP system automatically allocate an available 1i0 base address and IRQ. And with SMC's included EZStart utility, these adapters can be configured in just one step in a non-PnP computer. Ethernet adapter installation has never been so easy!

Software driver installation has never been easier either. EtherEZ drivers support all your existing SMC/WD EtherCard adapters. And software driver updates are easier too-there's no need to keep track of which driver goes with which SMC adapter.

Choose from three models: a thin coax adapter with a BNC connector, a 10BASE-T adapter with an RJ-45 connector for unshielded twisted-pair cabling, or a combo adapter with both BNC and RJ-45 connectors.
