Sun never made their own FDDI boards, they are just rebadged NPI cards with some
ROM tweaking so that the Sun drivers don't work with the NPI cards and the NPI
drivers don't work with the Sun cards.  put them side by side sometime if you
get a chance.  i bet you can't tell them apart if you ignore badging. :)
