I believe this is a NCR 53c875 based card, and CSC wants too much money for it.
If its based on the same chip as everything else, why pay more? :-)  When I
bought my Tekram DC-390F for $114 from 5-OClock Computers last year, everybody
else was selling the same card for $150, and CSC still wants $139 for their
version today.  The Diamond Fireport40 (same chip) is also about $140.  I am
very happy with my Tekram card, and have found no reason to want any one of the
above cards.
