Ethernet has been around, technically, since 1973, and the 802 spec

just for this reason, they made the effort to combine the two when it
wasn't previously available [mostly due to costs back then] Although
they use a relatively newer chip,CS8900, I'm open to that kind of
hacking.
You still OK if we move to 802.11b/g, which I don't think was around
in
the 80's?
I guess because there's still alot more working
vs. broken machines
from this category still, hence the lack of restoration involved --
but I still have a boxful of 1541's to rebuild between those in our
group here :)
Well, holler if you need parts. I just picked up 20 of them this
past
weekend. I could build a small kids house using the ones I own as bricks.
