Agreed 100%. Waste is a good choice of words.

If you can't scare up a DEC card, then you may want to consider a PCI
lance card, since the design (and performance) is similar as long as 
you don't need 100base-whatever.

One source of tulip cards is the Kingston card with the 21041, as per:

and you can get Kingston goodies from Australasian Memory, as they have
offices in all the main cities. See:

Note that I have never done business with them, so I can't vouch for their
customer service and all that -- I simply noted they carry Kingston stuff.
Would be interesting to hear what the price turns out to be over here as 
compared to the US price.

Hope this helps.
Paul.
