Applications

10Base-T PCI Ethernet NICs like the HP 5063-8790 were standard equipment in workstations and desktop PCs throughout the mid-to-late 1990s, the era when 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet was the dominant LAN technology in offices and engineering environments. This card was designed for HP workstation platforms of that period and installs in any standard PCI slot. Today, these cards remain useful for maintaining legacy HP workstations, industrial PCs, and embedded systems that require a simple, low-speed Ethernet connection and run operating systems with drivers for 10Base-T PCI NICs. They are also sought by technicians restoring or maintaining period-correct HP workstation hardware.
