Max Devices on ethernet adapters

Is there a real max values on a single adapter or
do you just keep adding devices until it "hurts" ???

At what point do you add the second adapter ???

I recall some older writeup on ethernet "load factors"
but this was back in the days of the infamous thin client.

Is there a practical limit to the number of PC's on a
single adapter ???

Would a bunch of high speed(1100lpm) line printers really
crush an adapter ???

What's the largest number of devices you have on a "single"
ethernet adapter ???
