The Sunsolve pages for the BigMac and HME cards only mention support for
the Classic and LX onwards.  I seem to remember that the SBUS runs at
12.5Mhz in the IPC, IPX, 1, 1+ and 2 and at 20 or 25Mhz in the later
machines.  It could be that this is the problem.  So, I'd be interested to
hear if the HME works in your IPX.

I forgot about the FSBE/S card (10Mb ethernet + SCSI/2) [*] which is also
supported in the earlier machines.  They're easier to get hold of than the
quad ethernet cards.  So one of those and one transceiver would work too.
