I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm afraid to buy a soekris with a PCI slot for this very reason. It
seems the very few PCI cards that do not burn out the board when used,
do not work well anyway.

It would be nice if we could compile a list of confirmed PCI cards
(vendor's model, dmesg output/chipsets) that work in a soekris...
