First, there's a gatorbox on ebay right now
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1281836875

Second, on and off I've played with a FastPath with no concrete success.
(it ususally has an 8pin ATalk connector and either a BNC or RJ-45 ethernet 
port) (Unfortunately I didn't download all the pages when there was still 
information online)

On the other hand I have successfully shared files back and forth thru a 
Gatorbox runing to a PC running Linux with Netatalk. If getting a Gatorbox 
be sure it is a CS version (plastic case or rack mount, as the original 
version had to be reloaded with software constantly)
(8pin Atalk, BNC and 15pin AUI port)
