This is a two-way Ethernet network-interface card for compatible NuBus-equipped Macintosh systems. It provides a built-in10BASE‑T twisted-pair Ethernet portplus a separateDB‑25-style Farallon media/transceiver connectorfor use with an external Ethernet transceiver or media adapter.

• The original EtherMac Series packaging states that the card family supported all three classic Ethernet cabling architectures—Thicknet, Thinnet, and Twisted Pair—and that two- and three-way card models were available.image.jpg

    Condition

    I do not have a compatible NuBus Macintosh, appropriate period drivers, or the external Farallon DB‑25 media/transceiver cable needed to fully test the card. No guarantee is made regarding system recognition, RJ‑45 network link, external media-interface function, compatibility, or overall operation. However, I am the original owner and it has been sitting safely in cool, dark, static free storage since the 1990's.

    The board shows ordinary vintage storage and handling wear. Please inspect all photographs closely for the exact condition of the NuBus edge connector, RJ‑45 jack, DB‑25-style port, components, jumpers, ROM labels, and bracket.

    You will receive the exact Farallon EtherMac NuBus card shown.
