I've had it work just fine with a $40 Taiwan clone board. Remember the
NCR810 based boards don't contain much electronics besides the actual
NCR810 chip itself so there is not a lot of variation. In my case the
original DEC card (KZPAA) has an active terminator chip instead of the
resistor networks the Taiwan clone has.

BTW: I managed to convert a bunch of the tiny Multia riser cards containing
an NCR810 chip into a board that works as an ordinary PCI card. It's a bit
of a hack that involves some etch cuts and adding 4 wires. But it works.
