I'm not sure which is which anymore... Between the three of them there
might be one which is fine. Maybe we should stick them all in for
redundancy. ::-)

It may not be the cards, it might be the physical wires from the cards
to the AUI on the back, which have no doubt been plugged and unplugged a
fair bit over time...

Don't worry about the filenames - the DECservers know enough to ask for
the right one - you can watch them do it with tcpdump. If manta's
network is up, they'll boot.
