	The '''Intel 8∕16 LAN Adapter''' is a 10Mbps network card. There are several revisions of the card which have different physical interfaces at the back. Revisions include: RJ45 + dsub15, BNC + dsub15, and possibly more.		The '''Intel 8∕16 LAN Adapter''' is a 10Mbps network card. It is notable for being compatible with the IBM PC/XT because of its dual 8-bit / 16-bit operating modes. There are several revisions of the card which have different physical interfaces at the back. Revisions include: RJ45 + dsub15, BNC + dsub15, and possibly more.

This card's boot ROM socket appears to take a standard 32-pin flash chip, however at the time of writing this has not been tested.

The card's DOS drivers come with a configuration program (<tt>SOFTSET.EXE</tt>) that can be used to enable the ROM socket (it is disabled by default) and set the base address, as well as adjust all the usual options like the I/O address and IRQ.
