  1. @thejpster Almost off topic, but in #1997 my secondary school (in #Poland) had access to Internet available for every pupil. We needed more terminals, so some old #286 PC booted over the network so people could telnet to their sever accounts for #IRC and #FTP. We were lucky to have a few #3Com Ethernet adapters with boot ROM sockets.

  8. Any network people on here who know if this old thing is still worth anything? I have no clue as I'm not familiar with network equipment at all.

    From a quick lookup of the model number on eBay, there seems to be quite a few being sold for around €35-40. Might try that on a local marketplace.

  10. Got a #3com etherlink II, an 8 bit ethernet card. Gonna try it on the #Book8088 ...

    might be interesting... if you set the io address to be in the 0x200 range it uses irq 3. if you set the io address to 0x300 it uses irq 2. These are your only choices.

    I guess I'm disappointed. this card was made in 1990... by 1990 im sure it was quite clear that you don't make xt bus cards like that!

  11. ✡️ Today's Jew of the Day is Éric Benhamou!

He rose through the ranks and became CEO of 3Com, while at the same time, working with a new startup Palm Computing on what eventually became the Palm Pilot, the first widely successful PDA.

    He received the Medal of Honor of Ellis Island as well as the Nessim Habif prize. He is the founder of Benhamou Global Ventures, as well as the non-profit ISRAEL21c.

    Fun Fact: Benhamou is the youngest student at École nationale supérieure d'arts et métiers to receive a "diplôme d'Ingénieur".

  13. ¿Alguien recuerda a #3com?
    Fueron líderes en la telecomunicaciones. Compraron a #USRobotics, otro grande, sobre todo en época de módems, y a #Palm (los primeros #PDA y abuelos de los #smartphones). Finalmente fue adquirida por #HP y quedaron en el olvido.
