Wouldn't that be a SunPCI II?

I don't think these will work with Solaris, but I do
know they work with OpenVMS, Tru64, and Linux, and
I'm pretty sure they work with *BSD.

Those cards are nice.  I've got a couple and Emulex supports
a lot of different operating systems (and they work under
Tru64 and OpenVMS).

What is the speed?  Even better, what is the airtime cost?
