OK, for those hands that wanted these cards, I can probably free
up 3 of the 4, since I don't envision needing more than one, myself.

Let me know which part numbers you need for the VAX version, and
if there are any other ID info (rom numbers, or such?) that I need
to look at to make sure these will work in VAXen.  I wanna give
first grabsies to the VAXencrewe, but if they won't work in VAXen
I will pass them onto the Alphabits crewe if they can use them.

I will look for part numbers and that kind of info on my boards
and get back later.
