Step One -- Familiarize Yourself with Connectors
Get a box of cards to be sorted and rummage through them, looking for these connector types:
- HD15 (three rows of holes)
- RJ11 (like for a phone)
- RJ45 (bigger than an RJ11)
- BNC (like for cable TV)
- Little Round Sound Ports
Step Two -- The Basic Sort
Pick up each card and using the following chart, put each card in one of five piles (video, sound, modem, network, and everything else.) Note: This takes you to the bold boxes in the chart.
Step Three -- The Sub-sort
Get someone to check your work so far, and they will show you how to tell PCI, ISA, and AGP slots from all the other types of card slots. Then you can use the above chart to subsort each of the five piles into a grand total of twelve piles. (See the bold ovals below each of the five main types to do your sub-sort.)
Step Four -- Sub-sub-sort the PCI Network Cards
If it is a PCI network card, sort into two piles, those marked 100 and those that are not:
Step Five -- Finish Up
See if it's correct. You should now have up to 13 piles:
- Video Cards, PCI
- Video Cards, AGP
- Video Cards, OTHER
- Modems, PCI
- Modems, ISA
- Modems, OTHER
- Sound, PCI
- Sound, NON-PCI
- Network, PCI, 100
- Network, PCI, NOT 100
- Network, NON-PCI
- Miscellaneous, PCI
- Miscellaneous, NON-PCI
Have someone check your work and then put the cards in their boxes, checking the boxes as you do. (Maybe someone before you made a mistake.)
Thanks for helping us sort these cards!
