In the early 90's a friend of mine got a box of 10 HP cards with all the same MAC address.

In my early days of network admining, a coworker told me a (apocryphal) story of 3com shipping a batch of 80K cards 
with identical MAC addresses, which they then had to recall.

Unfortunately a cursory Google turns up nothing, so I suppose he was either misinformed or pulling my leg.
