Xircom PE3-10BT PE310BT Parallel Port Ethernet Adaptor w/PS2 Power Cable:
$189.00
The Xircom PE3-10BT is an Ethernet adapter from the early 1990s designed for notebook computers that needed Ethernet but did not have any internal expansion slots. They worked by using the the parallel printer port as an expansion bus, which is not as fast as having a real Ethernet adapter on a card but it is fast enough for most uses. While designed for notebook computers they will work on any machine with a parallel port, which is great for machines that have limited (or no) expansion slots available. It also makes it useful for machines where you want an Ethernet connection but you don\'t want to go through the hassle of opening the case and installing a card. The Xircom PE3-10BT features twisted pair Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T with RJ45 connector).
I am the original owner of this device, but never used it.
It includes the Phantom Power Connector and the original information pamphlet.
