The Cisco SBus FDDI/CDDI cards were Crescendo cards.  Cisco bought Crescendo
some time back, and promptly EOL'd the cards soon thereafter.  We've been
EOL'ing systems left and right at work that had these cards in them, hooked
up to Cisco (nee Crescendo) FDDI/CDDI switches.

As for supporting them in NetBSD ... one word: "100baseT"
