Well, the supported hardware page should have an asterisk, since the
FA310TX isn't recognized as a "de" card.

Continuing my quest for a compatible card, I found a noname card in the
local hobby shop with the main chip marked as:

21143-PD
DC1096B
S9906 JK4462
INTEL 1997

The box is labelled as "FE1430 TX". Any guesses if this is a
Digital-based card?

Thanks...
