Seeking Drivers for Unknown Apple Ethernet Card?

rbanffy asks: "Does anybody know what this card is? I am resurrecting an old Macintosh LC II and would like to attach it to a network. The card was inside it, but the hard disk had no drivers. It is an LC-PDS Ethernet card with RJ-45 and BNC connectors. The important parts seem to be a SMC 91c92 chip and an EPROM (haven't seen one in years) labeled 'LC ROM 44F0'. Could one of you can identify this critter and point me to the correct drivers?"

Drivers

I had a Mac LC II not long ago, same card, with drivers on the hard disk. However, I threw that Mac LC II away. As you should also do with yours.

I know, it's fun, but there's also a lot of fun to be had in subjects that may actually be useful in the future. Why waste the time learning the equivalent of making flint arrowheads? When you're looking for a job, do you think anyone will be impressed that you know how to use base-level consumer computing hardware from two decades ago? Maybe five years ago, you might have run into an LC II running somewhere, maybe as an application keyserver. But not anymore.

Yup, In ye olden days, almost every 3rd party Mac Ethernet card was "register compatible" with the Apple-branded hardware.

That means 99.9% of the time, the driver you need is bundled with MacOS.
