Yes, the newer cardbus version of this card is one of the two top candidates.

Unfortunately, this is not true. Some cards have big honking plastic docking
bits at the end
which protrude past flush with the slot, and many of the others have slightly
smaller but still
too-big docking bits that block the second slot (or at best block any cable
coming out of
the second slot).
"I've seen cards like these on ebay for around $50. Since everybody wants 32
bit cards
now, these are discounted and still work great."
I have to buy from someone who issues bids and accepts purchase orders, as it
is for business use (and therefore
not coming directly out of my pocket).
Thanks for the suggestion.
