	Yeah, it's not a Shadow QuadraLink I found it. I called it that
because the name of the MacOS control panel that controls it is called AE
Shadow or something similar. The card says 'Applied Engineering
QuadraLink', and it says it was manufactured sometime in '93.

	I've got a copy on zip somewhere, my guess is it's the same card
just a different revision; maybe a different model. When was your card
manufactured?

	I don't have any driver-level development experience yet, so all I
will be able to do to help for now is supply screen dumps of the Slots
output and do some testing. Of course, if someone would like to walk me
through some of the driver code I could be a little more helpful. I've got
a book on writing device drivers for the Mac II series computers, maybe
I'll do a bit of reading. :-)
