:-)

I should think most people on port-mac68k are heartily sick of hearing from
me, but I am working on finding out why the LCIII class machines cannot use
ethernet cards, and solving the problem.

The problem appears to be something relatively "trivial" about interrupt
handling, rather than anything more fundamental about actually talking the
card in the first place (everyone affected agrees that the booting
correctly get things like cache memory from the card).

However, this doesn't make it all that easy to fix, since I currently have
no knowledge about VIA handling at all.

Personally, my next line of attack is going to be to boot my machine into
MacOS and trawl around the ethernet stuff with MacsBug.  Wish me luck.

If anyone out there with a similar set-up has anything to add (like you're
the man who originally implement VIA on the LCIII and you'd just love to
recode it for me, for example) then please mail me about it.

Yours,

Jules
