Description

3Com 03-0094-002 16-Bit ISA Fast EtherLink NIC 10/100 BASE-TX RJ-45 3C515-TX

The 3Com 03-0094-002 is a 16-bit ISA Fast EtherLink network interface card supporting 10/100 BASE-TX Ethernet over a single RJ-45 port. Built around the 3C515-TX chipset and marked Rev A with a 1996 copyright date, this card is a late-era ISA NIC from 3Com's well-regarded EtherLink line, designed to bring Fast Ethernet connectivity to desktop PCs equipped with ISA expansion slots.

Applications

ISA network cards like the 3Com Fast EtherLink 03-0094-002 were designed for desktop PCs of the mid-to-late 1990s built around the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus — the dominant expansion slot standard in PC/XT/AT-class and early Pentium-era systems before PCI became universal. These cards allowed machines without onboard Ethernet to join 10/100 Ethernet networks using standard Cat5 cabling. The 3Com EtherLink series was widely deployed in corporate and institutional environments running DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT, and the 3C515 chipset had strong driver support across those platforms. Today, cards like this are sought by vintage PC enthusiasts, system restorers, and operators maintaining legacy industrial or point-of-sale hardware that still relies on ISA-slot machines for specific software or hardware compatibility reasons. The 16-bit ISA form factor and RJ-45 connector make it a straightforward fit in any ISA-equipped chassis with a free 16-bit slot.
