9 Port switch (1 on card). The one on the card is a 100TX (but thanks to IBM's technologies, you can transfer up to 400Mb/s through it). And has 8 10TX ports (capable of 40Mb/s each). Rackmount, 1U.

Has AUI port, probe port, and Management port (EIA 232).

I tested all of the ports, and they all work.

Oh ya, the price! $200+shipping obo.

Also, you should know that this is not an ideal small office unit. It is designed to integrate a powerfull server into a large network, and is not intended in any way for peer-to-peer networks.
