An RX33 is a 5-1/4" disk isn't it - in which case you
are on your own :-)

My guess would be a DEC one, e.g. a DE500, and preferably not
one that's too late (I cannot remember which of the 3 or 4
DE500-?? were the later ones). 21143 was the last gen of DEC
PCI ethernet chip wasn't it? If so look for almost anything with
a 21141 (IIRC). It probably does not even have to be a DEC card
since almost all the machine will see will be the chip
on the PCI bus.

I have not heard back as to whether the Multia floppy image
was a success, but I'll happily have another go. Point me
at where the image you want is (otherwise I'm bound
to pick the wrong one) and I'll see if I can build a
floppy using OpenVMS on a VAX and then dd to produce
an image I can email to you.
