- I don't know anything about those boards but I just got a NE2000 compatible
- from Danpex for $75. The price is dropping cause the last time I had bought
- one of their cards it cost $95. These have Thick/Thin connections. They
- also sell other styles of ethernet and arcnet cards. If your interested they
- are located down in San Jose, CA. That's 408 area code. I don't have the
- number right now. We have around 5 of the NE2000s and they work fine. I had
- one that didn't work right out of the box and they sent me a new one.
