How does the performance of the 8 bit version compare with the 16 bit
version (WD8013, I believe?) of this card?  How much more system load does
the 8 bit card generate.  (I am surprised at the number of 8 bit ethernet
cards out there, considering the fact that I would think very few of them
are destined for 8088 based systems)

What are the WD Etherlink cards?  A completely different generation of
card?
