BusLogic will honor the 1 year warranty even if the vendor won't... just
remember to keep your proof of purchase (receipt, etc) in case there's any
question about when it was purchased.

OEM means "no frills", basically... an OEM adapter board will come with a
manual, in a plain box.  The "kit" contains cables, software, etc.  This is
the difference between BusLogic's BTxxx and KTxxx designations for their
boards.
