The U of O has a bunch of old Ultras: plain Ultra 1s, at least one
Ultra Enterprise 1, Ultra 1 Creators, Ultra 1 Creator3Ds, Ultra 5s and
a handful of Ultra 10s.  The only ones with 10 Mbps NICs are the very
oldest plain 1s and the Enterprise.  All the others have happymeals.
I suspect the truth here is closer to "David's U1 has a Lance NIC and
narrow SCSI controller" than to "all non-Enterprise U1s have Lance
NICs and narrow SCSI controllers"

In any case, I have at a spare happymeal NIC (two if I decomission my
SS20 or downgrade it to the onboard Lance), so this is not an issue.
