OS 9 PCI Gigabit cards

Looking for an OS 9 compatible gigabit NIC. I know Asante made some and I've seen some of their gigE cards on ebay but there's never enough info in the ads to tell if they are the Mac compatible versions. Anybody know if I have any other options?

Any where I can find more info? I saw something on realtek but I thought it was for 100 Mbps cards. Googling for realtek and Mac doesn't get me anywhere...its all realtek and MAC which is no help

SIIG trio card

I've been wondering what the chances are that this is Mac compatible:

Realtek Ethernet chip, Texas Instruments firewire chip, NEC USB2--those are all the Mac favorites, right? I suspect the likelihood that this will work well in a Mac are not good, though. Anyone tried it?

Hmm that is very tempting. I did find the OS 9 drivers for the Realtek chip on the Realtek website. Saw one of those cards for like $50 on ebay...hmmm
