Dan-

At my school, almost all of our clients are running the 905 card.  Depending 
on the revision, we use the 3c905-TPO100, and that seems to work pretty 
well.  We have also used the 3c905-T4 without problems. There were pretty 
major revisions between version A and B, so make sure that you use the right 
revision.  Hope this info helps.
