BTW2: Does the name "Amigalink" ring a bell?
Someone in the usergroup brought
a full-length Zorro card with a D9 connector, apparently some kind of NIC. It
dates from 1988 and I think it's copyrighted to "Designs by small" or
something like that. The card features amongst others a clicky relay. The D9
is supposedly plugged into some kind of transceiver device and chained to hte
next card. I think it's some kind of ring topology, ISTR the word RING
screened onto the PCB.
Sounds like standard token-ring to me.
