If, as mentioned as a possibility above, Stefan doesn't have a card handy, I've got a 53c710 I'd be more than willing to send to him. It is, of course, EISA, so having a system w/ that bus would be a prerequisite. Thank you all for the dialog on the subject. I've been floating through mailing-list/usenet archives the past month trying to find references to the card, and have been largely unable to find anything productive. This has been a great boon to my dreams of making use of the machine. Thanks again.
