I'm afraid that won't work. The 3C905 is a PCI card...in all it's
variants (905, 905B, 905C)...
Additionally, the 3C509 cards were software controlled, not jumpered.
The config program (3c5x9cfg.exe) could set jumper-like settings, or, in
later models, could set up a plug and play mode, which actually worked
more often than not.
