 ... which is why the only stable Windows is NT. 
  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.
