3COM 509 DRIVER

I think I have a dead card, despite it appearing to be in near pristine condition. I don't think the card is defective. Try to disable everything you don't need in the bios and launch 3c5x9cfg under MS-DOS without anything started, maybe it uses an IRQ already in use and so it conflicts with something else that makes 3c5x9cfg unable to detect it. I wouldn't pay that much in an etherlink III card personally I have many spares that I paid for a really low price I don't think these cards are requiring -5V even though I never tested one of them without -5V One thing you may try is to install one of these in a computer running windows 98SE. If it is blown though I might be afraid about why its blown I have a bunch of 3com 's that I never had issues with but I have also heard of different experience with them. Thank you Cheers, Liam.

No, they are 59 cards. Try to disable everything you don't need in the bios and launch 3c5x9cfg under MS-DOS without anything started, maybe it uses an IRQ already in use and so it conflicts with something else that makes 3c5x9cfg unable to detect it. Loading More Posts 7 Posts.

3Com Etherlink III 3C509 ISA Network Interface Card (nic) With Coax (10b2)

I did remove all other peripherals when I tried this earlier, but just remembered I didn't disable the onboard audio. We also believe everyone should be able 3ccom afford it. I have a bunch of 3com 's that I never had issues with but I have also heard of different experience with them. So what's this BitWrangler guy's deal??? And which resources are thet configured for?

Not sure if that is meaningful or not For some it's fast, for some it's slow. Thought that maybe this card would be weird and require -5V, so found a power supply that provides -5V, and still no go.

I recall having many issues running one of my etherlink under DOS and windows 95, but under 98, 5509 it installed everything needed, it was perfectly fine and I could configure it and thus checking that it was fine. This disk works with my cards: There have been different hardware versions of that board. Before truely declaring it dead, I might throw it 3vom the oven for a last ditch effort that DIY reflow might fix something But in any event: Try swabbing the end connector.

There is no material that is knowingly illegal here. I find that ISA PnP is dodgy at best - so the best way to get these cards working is to stick them into an old non-PnP system or similar with absolutely minimal loadout otherwise VGA, floppy, nothing morethen run the config util to find the card. 3vom

If it is blown though I might be afraid about why its blown The PC I got to make into the new firewall needs low-profile cards though, and only has one pci slot so I won't be using them other than in test mode - I bought a low-profile dual port Intel card.

First, make sure the onboard voltage regulator is working. Just enter the new nic 59 for wan, lan, optx and you will be up and running with the old config on the new nics within minutes.
