I saw this item for sale at eBay. The system models page has this listed as "should probably work, but we don't know for sure yet." I would but it for testing, but I don't have anything to plug it into and I have never worked with FDDI before. Thought someone here might want to grab it.

Again I don't claim to be a DEC expert, The below mesage was from a concerned ebay user and I thought it should be added!
I just thought you might want to know that the above item is actually a FDDI controller, which is a form of high-speed networking (analogous to ethernet, but different and incompatible), and in this case appears to be a fiber-optic version (there is copper based as well). I just thought you might want to make sure you're high bidder understands this, but with such a specialized peice of equipment, I would imagine they do...
Have a good one, and "keep on ebay'in"...
