Well unfortunately you cannot find the 2840 VLB cards any more, they are discontinued. ( I just tried ). I have found the 1542 to be a very serviceable card and very reliable ( until being shut into the door of my car... heh... hance the replacement ). I bought a new one and got it at a good price ( I think ) $168 from SIMMSUN (714) 863-0400.
