Those cards are most likely AppleTalk cards which are exactly
what you need to run a IIGS off a Linux AppleTalk server.  The
Linux server software is called nettatalk and to get it to act
as server to a IIGS requires a patch available somewhere on
the net.  I'm sure others can provide the necessary URL.
