Physically a lot smaller than DEC's first SSI Ethernet card(-set): https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/NEYAAOSw-mZlg0lZ/s-l1600.jpg (DEC DEUNA, those boards are over a foot long), though also a lot fewer features. DEUNA is a "real" NIC, it has tx/rx queues and handles all that autonomously. Does DMA, too. It of course comes with it's own on-card PDP-11 to run it.
