You will need a DIO-I adapter for your hp380.  Many systems out there  
have one (my hp380 does, for example), but some do not.

I don't remember if there were any DIO-II Ethernet boards.  The only  
DIO-II boards I have ever seen are frame buffers; all other expansion  
boards I have come across are DIO-I.
