- the 509 is a great card. Very fast and *auto configuring*, i.e. no switches
- or parameters it will auto detect the settings on the card. One note
- though: according to the read.me file on the disk that comes with the 509,
- the 509 will only work on a workstation -- NOT the server, which IMHO is too
- bad, since it would seem that the extra speed would be used most wisely on
- the server.
