The “SK-NET FDDI-<x>P” card requires either a 3,3V or a 5V PCI bus slot.

Yup, v2.1

3.3V PCI slots never gained much popularity. 99% of desktop motherboards
have 5V slots only. You will find 3.3V slots on some server boards,
usually in the 64-bit form... but that's about it. Dual voltage cards
are relatively common however...
