Those do look like decent cards..since there were five and no one bid
and there were 20 seconds left I bought one.  It says it uses the
tachyon chipset..which is what JNI/Jaycor and emulex etc use.  You can
also use these as basically a gigE adapter.  For 25 bucks you can not
beat that.  The guy doesn't have a website but I bet he'll re-post them.
OR if you guys are interested there are four left and I can see if I can
change the quantity.
