This manual describes the use of Apple Ethernet CS Thin Coax Card
The Apple Ethernet CS Thin Coax Card expands the communications capabilities of Macintosh computers with a communications slot (CS) by enabling connections to IEEE 802.3 standard Ethernet networks. The card requires EtherTalk software, which is included on a floppy disk provided in the package.
This guide details the physical installation process, including removing the T-connector from the card and inserting it into the computer's communications slot. It also explains how to connect thin coaxial cables using T-connectors and terminators to integrate the new computer into an existing network.
| Data rate maximum | 10 megabits-per-second |
|---|---|
| Operating temperature | 50° to 104° F (10° to 40° C) |
| Humidity | 20% to 95% noncondensing |
| Ethernet controller | National Semiconductor DP83932 (SONIC-32) |
You must install EtherTalk software, which is included with the card on a floppy disk.
The card works only with Macintosh System 7 or later and requires at least 4 megabytes of random-access memory for best performance.
You must obtain a thin coax cable separately, as it is not included in the box.
