The ethernet adapter is a CTI card (not Unibus or Qbus) with an identifying
number of 000042 on its plastic handle. It's also called a DECNA card, but
since I don't have one I don't know if that's written on it somewhere (i.e.
the solder mask). Thanks -- Ian

I have a Pro 380 - I'd really like to find an
ethernet card for it, and
maybe some additional memory?.

I plan on selling all of my DECMATE, PRO350 and PRO 380 systems and
parts.

for the video card? (It's DEC part number
54-15138.) I've got a
Rainbow I'd be willing to trade for a working one (base unit only - I
don't have the facilities to test it, but according to the owner it
was in working condition.)
