This is confusing and I think it has been corrected in later versions
of our documentation. All of the Ethernet cards we recommend for
PC/Windows and Macintosh computers have BOTH a UTPE and an AUI
interface. They can be used in singles, doubles, triples or quads.
For computers with built-in Ethernet (eg: DEC, Sun, Mac Quadra and
Centris) an external adapter of some kind may be required.
