I saw some messages a while back that someone had written some drivers

The URL is no longer valid. Is the software still available?
Alternately, is anyone interested in this card?
What is an SCNet card? Have to admit I haven't heard of it. Found an oblique
reference on Google implying that it's an ethernet adapter?
Yes Steve, it is some type of Ethernet card. From what info I found,
it apparently appears to the Apple as a storage card. Disk images were
loaded across the network (10Base-2). I assume that the original disk
image server was another Apple. The software I was asking about was
written to allow a PC to assume this role. Apparently, the card is
compatible enough to talk real Ethernet to the PC, once you plug it
into a hub. At least that's my understanding, from what I read.
I don't know any more about this card. It does have a BNC pigtail that
plugs into an RCA jack on the board. It's a full-length board. I have
no docs.
