Errm, I can't say for sure, but IIRC there was a time when HP thought
it is useful to just allow HP certified/supported PCI cards to run in
their workstations.
Perhaps someone else can elaborate on that topic?

Well, many cards are universal, ie. keyed for both 3.3v and 5v.

I can't speak about C160, but in my C240 I was able to use a
DEC tulip and also a Intel EtherExpress PRO 100.
I didn't have so much luck with a noname ne2k and some 3com Vortex,
but it was about 3-4 years ago since I last tried ...
Anyway I think a DEC Tulip card should be your best bet.
