[tech] searching for DEC-compatible network cards

[Davyd Madeley]

The UCC has 7 3RU dual 800MHz alpha boxes, that have been kindly donated
to us by Fugro FSI. They don't currently have network cards, disks, or
much that isn't the logic board, memory and CPUs.

One idea is to netboot them and run them in some sort of clustered
environment, however this requires network cards that are compatible
with netbooting from SRM.

Anyone who might have some cards lying around is encouraged to donate or
sell them to the UCC. GigE cards would be perfect, but I'm not sure what
GigE cards have SRM support and as we know, beggers can't be choosers.

Any other sources of cards that people know about will be appreciated
too.
