If you must have ISA cards due to supporting ISA-only hardware, e-mail me off list and I'll box them and ship them all to you. Otherwise, if your hardware has PCI slots then you need to let go of this old hardware. Excellent PCI cards can be had from the used market for a couple bucks. I just picked up a SMC using a real Digital chipset today for $2 from a scrap dealer for a system I'm working on. Just open your eyes and look around. Granted the 3c509 is 10baseT ISA not 100BaseT ISA. But the ISA bus does not have the bandwidth to seriously push even close to what a 10BaseT ethernet can handle, let alone 100BaseT.
