Well, the card is a AIR ASPI VLB with the NCR53C710 chip, which we had to find
out the hard way. Is there anything else that I can say to help with finding 
stuff out about it... I don't have the book for the chip or else I would read
it :)
Does anyone out there have the book?

or know where I could acquire it from ?
