  15.    I've just installed some Apple ethernet cards, and I'm wondering:
  16.    What exactly does the extension A/ROSE do? (It's not documented)
  17.  
  18. A/ROSE = Apple Real-time Operating System Extension (or something like
  19. that) As I understand it, it is basically a little OS for intelligent
  20. NuBus devices...  For the Ethernet cards, it basically lets the card
  21. run separately from the system CPU and use a rendevous when main CPU
  22. resources are required.
