Well, you could just try them all, but the ethernet port on an I/O board
will be an hme port, and the card you have is a qfe (q for quad).

(You might guess that the 0-3 ports are the four together on the same
card.) :-)

Yes, yes it will.

Completely filled with disks, you can use it as a paperweight as well.
Otherwise, it's probably too light. ;-)

I know some folks that would pull all but one CPU/mem board out to do
builds and configurations because it was much faster to boot. Now that
they're as old as they are (and not under support), I don't recommend
unplugging the boards without a good reason.
