The network card or the PC?

I have my MOBO network card disabled. There were no linux drivers for tit
when I built this machine. If I enable it VRPC fails. 

However -- This PC is near end of life (I may rebuild it with windows 7 and
more RAM) but I'm hoping by transferring the network card to my /spare/
machine I can avoid having to bother Aaron for a new code and again when I
transfer back.

I'm hoping there are contingency plans for if Virtual Acorn goes the same
way as RISCOS Ltd. Does it still exist? I've recently bought RISC OS 6.20
apparently from Uniqueway.
