Hey, PC ISA ethernet cards can be had off the shelf for about 20 dollars
where I am.

Does anyone know how we might resurrect the old Bit3 Apple-to-ISA bus bridge,
and plug an ethernet card into it? I've been doing a little research into the
cards, but I've no clue how to get them talking to my Apple short of reading
the "ISA Architecture" book and trying to wire up my own bus adapter...
