Correct. There is one card with BNC/AUI connectors that allows 10base* only.
The other one only has a RJ45 plug for 10baseT and 100baseT. The latter card
is connected to a different connector (via a different model cable) to the
PCI riser card in the bottom half of the cabinet.

Which only works for the right card, a 10base*-only card will not allow
setting to 100base*
