That Ethernet should come in handy. If I were you, I
would lend that FD
SCSI to Jaromir Dolecek. He's writing MCA card drivers for NetBSD.
In what way would the parallel Ethernet be handy?
I'm planning to send a whole lot of things to Jaromir, only I haven't planned
postage to the Czech republic into my very cramped summer budget. =)

It's a serial/parallel wrap plug. The advanced
tests on PS/2 reference
diskettes need them to do port testing. It's a handy thing to keep
around.
Ooh, I feel so professional. Just like a field serviceman or something.

Why not?
It's such a bother with all those silly ADF files.
