Hello all,
Got a call from Cabletron, they *don't* have these in stock. They
where scrapped a while back as none wanted them, but they hadn't been
removed from the in-stock listing. Sigh.
Evidently they still sell the EA419's (10BaseT only) as new. I fear
to ask what the price will be if they want $150 for a used one.
To recap:
EA419 10BaseT only
EA414 10Base2 only
EA412 10BaseT and 10Base2
(If this is wrong, someone please tell me).
Does anyone have an extra EA41x w/10BaseT ability that's gathering
dust?
Has anyone looked into the Asante' "Slotless Macintosh Ethernet
Controllers" line? They've got a couple of different parts, one of
which plugs directly into a Mac DB-25 SCSI connector. It seems that
I've seen these for about $80US. One would hope that the command set
for these things wouldn't be too different from the EA41x's, but you
never can tell.
Thanks!
Mark
