Does anyone have a recommendation for a PCI based NIC that would have System 7.6 / 8 support?
Thank you!

Hi Ron,
Not sure I can recommend a NIC, but I have a 6360 with OS 8 that has a Farallon PCI NIC. It is a PN996 10/100. Hope this helps.

You could use the Apple ones. The PCI-based 10/100 NICs intended for PCI Power Macs have four LEDs (the Apple Network Server-specific variant has two and may not work). Those should "just work" with 7.5.2 and up.
Any PCI NIC based on the DEC 21140 NIC chip should work, as that's what was on the official Apple add in PCI network card.
