It's the hme+fas I believe. 10/100 ethernet and ultrawide scsi. X1032A
(http://store.sun.com/catalog/doc/BrowsePage.jhtml?catid=10991) ... lists
for $995/A. That definitely means I paid less than $800 for it... but
still, I'm fairly sure it was more than $260.38 from my vendor. 

There are some on ebay now buy-it-now for $150-160... may have to buy one
or two that way for my AXi and/or Ultra 60, since it looks like neither of
them will sell. 

If anyone has a use for sbus DSBE (Diff Scsi/Buffered Ethernet) cards, let
me know. I think I still have two of those around, will trade for American
Airlines miles or pci stuff. :)
