Just as background, it's my personal home workstation.  

I don't have a single firewire device anywhere in the house - and can't
imagine that I'd be getting one.  While some digital cameras do talk
firewire, it seems (to me anyway) that talking to digital cameras is
better left up to the windows laptop (now used by Karin).

The Octane has a rompin' SCSI controller, so a PCI SCSI card wouldn't be
necessary - for me anyway.

FDDI or FCAL?  Maybe.  I don't, however, have any current plans for
either.

Is there anything particularly interesting or cool that can be done with
that card cage and commodity PCI cards?
