Hmm, one of us made a part number error.  What's the part number of the
plain differential card? The card I bought was very simple, not even any
termination. (You plug an external terminator directly on the PCI bracket
connector if you only have internal drives.) It didn't have really anything
on the pci card except an NCR (fast wide differential) chip, and it was a
small card, too.
