SYBA SD-LP-VT3F Low Profile PCI 1394a 3-Port (2+1) Card, VIA VT6307
Price: $8.99

SD-LP-VT3F Low Profile PCI 1394a 3-Port (2+1) Card

I don't know if this card would exhibit Martin's problem, but it would
probably exhibit PR kern/113785.

Or you could get the same make&model card that Martin has (assuming that
Martin tells us, hint hint :-)  ) and a PCMCIA-card-in-PCI-slot adapter
such as Startech PCI2PCMCIA2 or similar.

For the record, my VIA VT6307 is on a Tyan Tomcat k8e 2865 mainboard.
I've ordered from mwave.com, no problems.
