I can't see any reason why it should not work. Do you need a second
Ethernet interface? My Alphastation 200 has a built in interface with
connectors for UTC and BNC.

Yes, but you may need to tell DECnet, TCP/IP, LAT, etc. that they
should use EWB0 instead of EWA0.

I used to use one in my AlphaStation 200 (now retired) and am now
using it in my AlphaStation 500 with no problems.

I used DE500s successfully in my AlphaStation 200s. I don't remember
what flavor(s) of DE500 I may have used.

A DE504 (the quad-port version) definitely did NOT work -- the firmware
didn't know how to handle the PCI bridges that card used.
