   Apologies, Geoff, you are right.  I tend to have the WD8003E on the 
   brain, and I can assure you, finding *that* for MicroChannel was
   no joy at all.  Two or three people were offering it, but the price
   was so high it went over our department's definition of the difference
   between "supplies" and "equipment".

   But it is not true that Sun does not offer ethernet boards for
   Microchannel.
