This is a hard drive interface, not a bus architecture. What you have is ISA expansion slots (Industry Standard Architecture - AT if you will). We have chosen to use the 8-bit Western Digital WD8003e ethernet board for most of our workstations, and the 16-bit Western Digital WD8013ebt for our servers. You should be able to get them for around $160 and $250 respectively. Good Luck. Mark.
