Good point.  Hopefully there will be some identifying chips on
the card.  Just make sure it has a LANCE or some other E'net
driver on it...   The AMD number for the LANCE is Am7990, don't
remember the other vendors..nor the numbers for the generic 3270
chips....

You may want to copy down the numbers of all the chips on the
board with more than about 24 pins...post it and most likely the
readers can id the card instantly...
