ESDI?  Enhanced Small Device Interface?  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.
