Sounds good. It can sit here in the meantime, if you want.
The stuff he won't run can possible come here in November. ;)
I'm not sure how much space is gonna be left...I'll happily sit with a
VAX on my lap along with several at my feet if I must. (I'd be
passenger...don't worry!)
If I want to move something...I will move it. There's room in the
glovebox, centre compartment, under seats...you name it. ;)
That's the spirit!
Some might call me crazy, I agree but add "determined" to the list of
adjectives.
This is good.
We might just make a collector out of me yet!

FYI, this card is supported by most major OSs. There are even drivers
for it for MacOS 9.
Now that's just plain weird. Can OS 9's stacks even handle FE? ;)
Barely. OpenTransport is, at least, a whole lot better than MacTCP.
Didn't bits of OpenTransport support STREAMS, too? Or am I thinking of
something else?
Hmm, I don't know offhand.

Fddi was the answer for production plants that required 100% uptime
Only once did Fddi let me down and made me go back to work at 3:30 am,
the worst time to wake up. One of the boards in a gs/fddi failed,
isolating two plants.
I did manage to explode a power supply in a gs. Made one hell of ?bang,
fortunately that part was redundant so the net stayed up.
Yuck!
Compared to fast ethernet, I prefer fddi.
Same here.
Too expensive for private or hobbyist use though.
Hardly. You just need the right connections. I was nearly 100% FDDI
on my home network in the mid-1990s...didn't take all that much money.
I didn't have much! ;)
Hell, when I got into FDDI in the early 2000s it was cheaper than
FastEthernet!

I was contemplating making my house 4-way redundant. MoCa. FE,
FibreChannel, and FDDI. All to link to the basement.
If I had the cables I woulda done it, too...
You're weird. :)
Thank you!
