Lots. But they won't work with SRM, so you won't be able to boot using
(most of) them.
| 3COM or Intel, I mean if I want to try a dual homed host, does NetBSD have
| support for normal PCI cards for alpha arch ?
Yes. I have a 3c905c in an alpha, works fine. I also have an (ISA)
smc (wd lookalike) piece of trash - that works fine as well. SRM (of
course) understands neither.
