Sorry, Gene, I don't have any spares, but I can recommend a very good one,
the X-Surf, which is still being produced. Some specs:

- 10Base2 and 10Base-T supported
- 20MBit transfer rate (fullduplex, twisted-pair only)
- compatible with Miami, Genesis, AmiTCP and all TCP/IP Stacks that can
access a Sana-2 driver
- Sana-2 driver included, NetBSD driver available in the latest
distribution
- two clockports for A1200 expansions such as Silversurfer and Hypercom
- two IDE ports 3,5" and 2,5" for harddisks and CD-Roms can be activated by
the IDE-fix Software

Available from Software Hut (www.softhut.com) for around $140 US. And that
price is extremely reasonable, given that old A2065s and ASDG Lanrovers
routinely fetch $60-75 on eBay. Newer Ethernet cards like the Ariadne II
sell for $100 or more.

Regards,
Mark.
