"SUN QFE". Rare stuff. Worked inside a SPARC. The module is generic, so it should work anywhere where you can put the card in. PCI-X, hence, should also work everywhere.
(I just don't get it why manufacturers don't slap more than two ports on NICs...)
PCI bandwidth problems, latencies, bottlenecks, ... PCI technology hasn't advanced that much :(
For its time, you could regard something like QFE as perfect. And even now, it serves as a good routing card. It is very useful where the number of PCI slots is limited. -`J' --
