As I mentioned to Gene, here in Japan, sbus nics are anywhere from $10 -
$30 plus shipping. The four port cards are harder to find, so I would be
willing to trade a happy meal(hme)for one. If not I wouldn't mind just
pick up a 10 MB one as I need one too.
As a interesting note, the company I work at just crushes old sparc
stations and Ultra1 due to the contract they have with Sun. What a waste.
