Oh, no. Those are PCMCIA adapters. I'm interested in PCI adapters, but none
support OS/2 at this time. There is a PCMCIA adapter for PCI that will allow me
to plug in the above two adapters.

miniPCI would be interesting, but there is no OS/2 support at this time. I am
simple not going to buy some card and leave it idle in hope of OS/2 support
coming some time. I will order a part only if I already have an OS/2 driver for
it on my server.
