Will pretty much any card with a DEC chip on it work?
Though come to
think of it I think I went the other way and put an Apple NIC from my
8500/180 into an AlphaStation 200 4/233 so maybe not. This is old
enough that it requires special firmware doesn't it?
Right. I don't think those will (although the Apple NICs usually used
some sort of Tulip controller, so I'm not surprised the DEC worked okay with
it).
