[rescue] RE: SGI vs. Sun

[Isaac]

There was a GIO64 100BaseTX card, the Phobos G160. The EISA card
performed as well (poorly) as you'd expect, but the G160 was OK.

I installed many dozens of G160 cards during my days at [major SFX
house], many of which replaced E100's (the rebadged 3com EISA card).
