Description
Digital Equipment 54-24101-01 PCI Network SCSI RJ45 BNC AUI 68-Pin Combo Card
The Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) 54-24101-01 is a full-length PCI combination card integrating both tri-port Ethernet network connectivity and dual Wide SCSI — two functions on a single expansion slot. The network side provides three physical interfaces (RJ45, BNC coax, and DB15 AUI), allowing connection to 10BASE-T, 10BASE2, or AUI-attached network segments. The SCSI side features two 68-pin Wide SCSI connectors for attaching high-speed storage devices.

Applications
DEC produced combination network and SCSI cards like this one for use in their Alpha-based workstations and servers during the 1990s, when having both network and storage controller functions on a single card was a practical way to conserve expansion slots in space-constrained systems. The tri-port Ethernet design — supporting 10BASE-T twisted pair, 10BASE2 coax, and AUI simultaneously — reflects the era when networks were transitioning between cabling standards and a single adapter needed to support all three. The 68-pin Wide SCSI connectors supported the fast SCSI storage arrays common in DEC workstations and servers of that period. Today these cards are primarily sought by collectors and administrators maintaining legacy DEC Alpha or compatible systems that require original or equivalent hardware.
This Digital Equipment 54-24101-01 PCI Network and SCSI Combo Card has been visually inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The PCB is clean with no obvious damage, and the bracket and connectors — RJ45, BNC, DB15 AUI, and dual 68-pin SCSI — show normal light wear consistent with previous installation and use. As a network interface card, it has not been bench-tested at our facility, but it was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in service.
