There have been several questions along this line to me, so I thought I'd
push this out to ya.  Just a quick-n-dirty.

Current HP-supported 100Base-T/100VG-AnyLAN Network Card Restrictions:
**************************************************************

The key is "single-processor" or" multi-processor".  This is due to system
overhead created by the card driver, yup yup, yup...

Only one 100Base-T or one 100VG-AnyLAN card per system for 9x7 and 9x8
families (only one bus).

Only two 100Base-T or two 100VG-AnyLAN cards per 9x9 "single-processor"
machines.

Up to four 100Base-T or four 100VG-AnyLAN cards per 9x9 "multi-processor"
machines.

Up to two 100Base-T or two 100VG-AnyLAN cards for the 99x
"single-processor" machines.

Up to four 100Base-T or four 100VG-AnyLAN cards for the 99x
"multi-processor" machines.

You may mix 100Base-T and 100VG-AnyLAN cards as you wish as long as you
don’t go beyond the total supported number for your machine (listed
above).

Remember that no more than 11 TCP/IP network interfaces (LAN, Token Ring,
FDDI, X.25, etc) are supported per system.

Hope this helps!!
