Nothing special. EPaying fibre cables, trying to get a concentrator
back to live (still dead), got an other wortking concentrator[1], 
trying to get that Interphase 4211 "Peregrine" VME FDDI card 
going in my SGI Personal IRIS 4D30 with IRIX 4 (still dosn't work),
swaped a 3COM FastEthernet EISA card from my Indigo^2 with the
SGI GIO64 FDDI card of a friend[2], trying to loosen a DEFTA or
two from an other friend for my DS5k240 and the DEC3k600, ...
There are other upcoming attractions like a Sun 600MB board 
with SM40. And I know where a Sun VME FDDI card is and what 
I have to pay for it (360MB 5.25" SMD disk).
This was added to my already existing installation. (DEC PWS500au Alpha 
with DEFPA, Cabletron 10BaseT switch with FDDI uplink, Sparc 5 with 
crappy SBus FDDI card.)

[1] Nice Thing. Hirschmann MC 10-03. Redundant PSU, hot swappable 
modules, ...

[2] He thinks he made a good deal, as he got FastEthernet in place of 
a "useless" FDDI card. But I know why I threw out the 3COM PeeCee crap. 
The 3COM gets about 3MB/s, the FDDI card 8.5MB/s. :-)
