You can't put RAM in the ROM socket.  The ROM socket is used to hold a 
special boot program that loads an operating system from a network server so 
it does not have to be stored on a local drive.  You probably don't need 
is.

The card has some RAM on it, and access is shared by the card and the 
computer.  When one has data for the other, it writes into that buffer and 
the other one reads it out.  This is how the card works.

You can use a converter to interface BNC to RJ-45, but this would probably 
cost more than replacing the card.  Many RJ-45 hubs have a BNC connector.
