 Funny, I actually acquired one of those cards not so long ago for $5-15.  
Tried it once under Linux, to no avail, and ended up just tossing it into 
a box of parts in my basement.  (I don't use Solaris, so I guess it's of 
no use to me.)  Amusing to see people talking about it, on a PPC list, no 
less.
