You can get the SMC 'Elite16 Series' from Data Comm Warehouse. Its not in the catalog but they stock the 'Combo' version (8013WC) which is thick/thin/aui at ~$150. You can probably get the thin or thick- only version for a few bucks less. BTW, these cards work very well with the latest SNAP. kim -- kimc@w8hd.org
