- Can you expand on this "disk"? It sounds like you already have SANA II
- drivers, for something. I wasnt aware of any SANA II drivers being
- available from anybody to date.
-
- I guess I should admit that I drew up the schematic for the parallel
- port Arcnet adapter. Funny how that thing gets around. I'm glad I
- marked it preliminary, since last week a little birdie visited my
- mail box with news that will force me to change the network connector.
- I'm awaiting further details before I release rev B of the schematic.

- KA9Q would be a good choice if your network is TCP-IP. I guess it
- all depends on what you are already running on your exisiting network.
