Sounds worthwhile. Do we have a PCI 3c905c we can trade
him? (I know that all of SIPBs are physically on the
motherboard, so not really tradeable).
If worse comes to worse, I have a spare Intel card
in my lab, but I'm a bit hesitant to part with it,
since it belongs to a research lab and isn't really mine.
If I/S happens to have spare pci network cards this is
certainly an option. Any idea if such spare cards exist?
