I don't know exactly which ones you got from Ethan, but two of them were
at one time arranged in a failover setup.  I don't remember now the
details on how they set that up, but maybe those cards were used in that
mix somehow.

Also, I remember that some of the SCSI cards from DEC were really wierd,
and some of them have really odd connectors.  Lot's of proprietary
stuff.
