It's a 486 man. The slots aren't PCI like modern acessories they're ISA. Your going to need to find an ISA network card or perhaps an external serial card.

I've an AMBRA 486 Computer that I want to use to connect to a small 
network shared with two other PCs.

I haven't found out much about 'Ambra' yet, but it seems to be a 
hardware-software combination created by IBM, dating over to the early 
90's. 

I tried to insert a card for an ethernet cable, but the slots are 
different, the card won't fit.

Did IBM, or some other company, build specially-shaped cards to plug 
into these machines, and was an ethernet card/socket one of them?

Thanks for any advice.
