I could of sworn about a month ago or so, I found a half-height gigabit NIC (PCI Express I think) which offered two copper AND two SFP connectors for fiber. The card had only two ethernet controllers (Marvell I think), hence you could only use up to two connectors at any time. Very similar to many switches which give you the choice of copper or fiber but not both (sometimes called "combo ports"). Of course, I didn't bookmark the page, I can't find it in my browser history and Google is failing me horribly. Note: I'm NOT looking for the old SysKonnect or Allied Tellysn cards which are 10/100Mbps. This was a gigabit card! Any hints or pointers to the page, vendor or reseller would be greatly appreciated.
