Search eBay for PCI Network Cards
Let me know if you find a way to exude the other kind of PCI.the search:

Code: [Select]PCI Network Cards -("PCI Express") -"PCI-E"
created VIA the Advanced search seems to only show PCI cards. (I can't find any PCI-Express cards in the RESULTS) In the advanced search you need to use quotes around "PCI Express" or else it will exclude items containing either "PCI" or "Express".

had to stick in "PCI x16" as an excluded term for graphics cards.BC_Programmer,
That is great work!
Looking for other cards, one vendor uses the term ...
PCI Exp
So I will add that to my search collections. -("PCI Exp")
Thank you!
