        That sounds like bad news. You do have Fast EtherTX-10/100 PCI Plus?

        Ok, does anybody here have a 'Fast EtherTX-10/100 PCI Plus' that
works?
        If you do, what did you do to make it work? Could it be that
PowerMac8500 is
        not supporting well the PCI bus mastering which this net card is
using???
        Anybody has any advice?
