Hi, I bought cards with boot proms all set up from http://www.disklessworkstations.com/ they are 10/100 cards and they cost me about $30-$35 each. I thought about burning proms and such, but it was worth it to me just to be able to plug them in and move on to something else. This is not an advertisement. I'm not assosciated with them in any way, but I think for the vast majority of people, there is no real reason to concern themselves with boot proms at all. I would have spent many times the cost difference in time trying to figure out what cards and what proms and what burner, etc. I'd say that unless you have a particular interest in proms, its worth buying a manufactured solution.
