   According to the NetWare Buyer's Guide, the Novell cards have on board
   buffer RAM. Are you saying this RAM is not in the PC's memory address
   space?

Yes, this RAM is not in the PC's address space.  Same for the other cards.
But beware: the 3c501 and ni5010 only have 2K of RAM, whereas the Novell
and clones have 8K of ram.  2K is quite insufficient.
