It's possible it was me, but most of the connections out in the plant is
10Mb Ethernet. (both coax and UTP)  I really wish I would have insisted way
back when they put that in that it should be TR -- TR runs can be MUCH
longer without repeaters, and the reliability is much better. (about 1997
or so)  It was a bosses project and I wasn't a boss back then...  Currently
my T/R is mostly offices and a few offices have a 100Mb Ethernet connection
instead. (using my cat1 token ring cables).

>o PCI cards available?

Yep.  I use IBM's usually.

>o 16MB available?

I haven't even seen 4Mb token rings since 1985.

The XP driver works in Vista32 actually.  Don't know about Vista64.
