Well. It is relatively easy to get a Turbochannel FDDI card for my DEC
3000 machines or a SGI GIO64 FDDI card for the Indigo2. I even have a
VME FDDI card for the SGI Personal Iris 4D35. 100BaseT is not available
for DEC 3000 and expensive and slow for the Indigo2. [1] Good 100BaseT
cards are hard to get these days. (All this RealTek crap...) But with
FDDI I get good cards with good performance and high throughput on all
my good, old machines.=20
BTW: I also have a DEFEA and a DEFQA...=20

Same for me. The vendor=3D0x0000 is strange. But NetBSD-current is
installed on this beast now, so these FreeBSD problems don't bother me.

[1] At least that 3COM EISA card.=20
