        Wow!  I'd love to be able to use one of those low cost 32MB boards
in my 4/110 (along with a new CPU, of course), but no being able to support
this 2nd Ethernet board limits my use of the 4/110.

Thanks for the info, Dave!  I should've contacted you before I assumed the
Ethernet board would work in my 4/110.

Mike.
