Got it in "cheap old crap that we don't know what the hell it is" section of
a local
Computer Renaissance store (used PCs); tossed in with the old 286 motherboards,
floppy controllers, Dec Rainbow floppies, etc.  I grabbed it up . . . but
I'm still unsure
if the stuff will work or not; I'm still kinda leery to try it . . . . .
wondering if I can just
daisychain this box off the back of the sun3 "hatbox" at first.....  any ideas?
