  I seem to recall that the 9440 got good reviews, but for a long
time it was hard to find drivers for it.
  The 5428, which I had, was supported by a driver included with Win
95.  I think I recall some doubt about whether this actually *used*
the VLBus, or whether it just used ISA, but as far as I know, newer
drivers for it were never produced.
