    The SE card is due to ship the end of August, the II and 
    SE/30 are shipping now.

I currently have no recommendations about, or dealings with these 
companies. Our department will probably buy 1/2 gross of the 
Asante cards, if their quality is satisfactory.  Has anyone 
used either their Mac II or SE/30 cards who can speak to their 
quality?

I'm currently using one in my Mac II, and I have had no trouble at all
with it.  They seem to have done a good job.
