It is probably no longer relevant, but the ballpark for inferior hardware was - it must run on both obsolete Windows and NT Windows systems. Hardware that could not operate on both was often a kludge design. However since NT is now clearly the only future in Windows hardware, I suspect it is all but impossible to find kludge NICs that only operate on obsolete Windows 9x.

NICs once was advanced design. Now they have become a commodity.
