I have seen the cost of the Cabletron EA41x units used, specifically the
EA412, and I'd love to get one to use with NetBSD/amiga.  The driver _seems_
to be machine-independent, but I'd lik to ask a few questions of someone who
uses it and possibly knows a little about its internals.

- Does it need the /dev node to function properly, or can it be configured
  from `ifconfig'?  (NetBSD/amiga, as shipped, doesn't have a /dev number
  assigned to it, though that can be fixed.)
- Does the EA412 pull powr from the SCSI port, or by an external power pack?
  (If the SCSI port, do you know which pins and how much voltage?)
- The important thing:  How fast?
