As part of a deal I got a small pile of Mac nubus cards. My goal is
to identify them and find them new homes before I need to get them

Farallon PhoneNET Card
It has AUI and 10BaseT connectors. This one looks like an ethernet card.
Is it?
Hah! Ya, Farallon had these nifty packages to let you integrate PC's/Mac's
in the same network. I once worked on one such network that used a Mac II
as the file server. Users with PC laptops who scanned tiff images in the
field had to upload to it. If I remember right, it was ~3 minutes to the
meg on the transfer. You can't believe how happy everyone was when I
replaced that Mac II with a 66mhz 486 running NT 3.51....
