Many token ring cards available

Tolkien Ring Cards... "One ring to rule them all" really is applicable. In a very distant time (which could be yesterday, with my memory...), we had a co-op from Ga Tech who, as a freshman, built an 8086 based device to insert delays into a token ring network. I don't remember the actual numbers, but after something like 700 nodes or so, the trip around the ring is long enough to cause nodes to start timing out. This was with the original slower token ring networks, I dunno about the 16's and up. Anyway, really nice piece of work, and the guy got a 'A' for the quarter. So here's this freshman, building token ring delay measurement systems, and you get seniors that are getting 'A's for building what amounts to Ramsey shortwave radio kits. In the academic world, there just ain't no justice. --jc On Saturday 20 December 2003 12:05 pm, Patrick Finnegan wrote:
