   Daughter card receptacles are 2x Molex 71436-0X64, the base board has 2x Molex   
   71439-0X64.   
      
   Would still need to hack the base board to identify with a unique Card ID, if   
   we want to use it in parallel to our Ethernet adapters.   
   Could be the ASIC reads it at startup from the onboard 24C02 VPD EEPROM, that   
   at least contains that card ID at the first two bytes.   
   Also likely and worse locations are the base board CPLD logic ICs or a fixed   
   ID inside the ASIC, but that would be against the modular effort IBM put into   
   this board.
