Step One -- 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 miscellaneous.)

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.

Step Two -- Subsort according to slot type

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 below charts 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.)

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.

Step Three -- Sub-sub-sort the PCI Network Cards

Take the PCI network card pile and sort it into two piles, those marked 100 somewhere on the faceplate and those that are not. (Note some network cards are marked both 10 and 100. These should be put in the "MARKED 100" pile.)

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.

Step Four -- Finish Up

See if it's correct. You should now have up to 13 piles:

  1. Video Cards, PCI
  2. Video Cards, AGP
  3. Video Cards, OTHER
  4. Modems, PCI
  5. Modems, ISA
  6. Modems, OTHER
  7. Sound, PCI
  8. Sound, NON-PCI
  9. Network, PCI, 100
  10. Network, PCI, NOT 100
  11. Network, NON-PCI
  12. Miscellaneous, PCI or AGP
  13. Miscellaneous, Other

Have someone check your work and then put the cards in their boxes. (Check the box contents as you go, since someone before you might have made a mistake!)

Thanks for helping us sort these cards!
