Nope, it's "16" for 16 bit ISA bus and "TP" for twisted pair.
I'm not sure what it's real name is but I once had an
"Etherlink II" which was a 3c503. The 16 TP might be a
3c507. It it's a 507 then it will have an Intel chip on
it labeled 82586. I can't remember the 503's chip but I
think it was a National Semiconductor 809xx.
If it's a 503 then the "ed" driver should work. If it's a 507
then the "ie" driver should work (going by the source code and
not experience). It's a matter of getting the IRQ/IO address
configured to match the card using the visual config editor.
Cheers.
