Just get the standard PCI card, there is no "Mac" version of this card (it
will not work under MacOS that I know of). There *may* be other 3com cards
that work - the 3c59x driver supports these cards under Intel:

 3c590, 3c592, 3c595, 3c597, EtherLink XL 3c900 and 3c905

I know for a fact that an off-the-shelf 3c905b works under PowerPC - I
have one in my home machine and a couple in one machine at work. The
others, I dunno.
