I have MacsBug installed, but I'm in the class of users who don't know how
to do anything useful with it other than es and rb.  :)

I couldn't find Slots at ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/

I was hoping a IIci user could point me to the card they're using, as well
as give me an indication of the price they paid for it.  How about the
MacCon-i?  (Replies to this should probably be sent privately; I don't
want to clutter the list with opinions on ethernet cards...)
