I've got a couple buttloads of token ring cards available; 8-bit and
16-bit ISA, as well as PCI.
If there's any interest, please contact me directly.
Thanks!

I can throw in one or more PCMCIA token ring cards in as well.

I think I might be interested in some of these, but I'm more interested
in cables or adaptors (RJ45 -> Type 1), and non-type 1 (RJ45/UTP) hubs/
MAUs if anyone has any of those laying around taking up space, as those
seem to be huch harder to find...

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.

Pat, I have an IBM 8228 MAU if you're interested with the Vampire to DB9
connector cabling (about 6-8 I think). I also have a 3COM FMS TR 12
Linkbuilder 12 port RJ45 if you're looking for that instead.
As for the IBM LANStreamer PCI and some of those Olicom PCI's, I might be
interested in 1 or 2. I have a couple Madge and IBM cards as is and
backups/replacements are always good when one turns up bad.
On another note, anyone have experience regarding the Bay Networks BayStack
504 with Network Management Module and Fiber MDA? Bay Networks (Nortel)
were really militant about letting me anywhere near such items without
handing them a few hundred for licenses to own the hardware and firmware,
etc. Kind of dumb really. Now, being that the units were discontinued in
2002, all the info is fully accessible from the Nortel site, though, I
still have no idea how certain things are supposed to work.
