Just for FYI Digit Networks offers 30 days of support for the clone X100P. 
Matter of fact their support is great.  I purchased 4 cards from them to set 
up testing in my lab.   I wouldn't use the clones in production use, but for 
some home users, testing and such they are inexpensive and well just 
inexpensive.  Why spend $133 on a card for a low end machine when you can 
spend $30.  Not everyone has a budget for tinkering around and home use.
