No, it only creates a second port which I believe has the same hardware as the first, so 10Mbps only.

They do! They offered granite enclosures to match the granite keyboard and mouse of the Indy, Indigo2 etc. I've got the CDROM, Floppy and DDS3 drive versions, which stack nicely just like the Sun boxes. I posted a picture on here many years ago: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17035&p=132888#p132888

For Octane, there is also an external DVD in dark grey, and presumably tape, floppy as well.

Mods, you must be doing something right. Even some who got banned, and demanded deletion of all their postings, thus wrecking many, many threads, eventually came back under a different name. I'd say it was quite gracious of everybody to just say "Ciao" once again, and not make too much of a fuss about the past.
