FS: HP/Compaq/IBM-branded Broadcom BCM5700-series GbE NICs

[MG]

Lots of Gigabit Ethernet copper (1000BASE-T/TX) ethernet
(3.3 V) PCI adapters, many of which are HP, Compaq and
IBM branded. There is at least one that is an �official�
DEGXA, which I originally got via Island Computers. Also
several mod.'ed DEGX and DEGX2 boards (beware, these may
not work under HP-UX, including not for HPVM/IVM in my
experience).

The majority of the boards are Broadcom BCM5703 (single-
port), BCM5704 (dual-port) and also a few BCM5701 (single-
port, like the BCM570; one of these has a LP shield and
this card ought to work under VMS I64, also IRIX by the
way).

These boards are located in the Netherlands and will ship
anywhere the potential buyer is willing to have it shipped
to. Pictures are also available.

There was something I forgot to add: If these NICs aren't spoken
for by Monday/Tuesday, then they're going to be recycled.

A number dropped off, I meant to write: BCM5703. (I.e. that the
BCM5701 is characteristically like the BCM5703; it's actually
also the NIC integrated on the zx6000/rx2600, maybe zx2000 also.)

These should be mostly gone and/or spoken for by now. I
do have several BCM5701s, but those are probably mostly of
interest for VMS and HP-UX users. (The BCM5701 is known
for notriously not being able to be, say, modified into a
DEGXA; that's only reserved for BCM5703-types.)

VMS I64, that is. (To clarify that.)
