All respondents recommended Sun's board (even the guy from Sun :-) It

I would guess that all the cards are *exactly* equivalent. If the
manufacturer is using the LSI Logic Sbus DMA chip, then the only thing to
do is to wire it up to a AMD Lance ethernet controller and put it on an
Sbus board. I have not seen any manufacturers claiming to have improved on
this design. So I'd just look at price and warrantee.
