Sorry for the late reply. I had to find the information again, myself,
and now I just visited the web server that I had in mind ...

Try	http://www.mint-data.de/rest.html

You'll see an "AMD PCnet AM79C970KC Netzwerkkarte" offered for 89DM or
$50 + 15% VAT (which you don't have to pay if you buy the card for a
company ...)
