I have a Realtek 8139 card here, but I can't seem to find drivers for OS 9 anywhere. I know they exist, but even the links on Realtek's own website are broken. Just for the record…

Realtek 8139 chipset-based 100mbps PCI network cards work fine, just check their site for a Classic OS driver. I might have one spare if you want it too. JB
