day might see the ether again..

I'm leaning towards just adding NetATalk to the Mythbox project ..
seeing as, the IIgs is lightning fast compared to most anything else
these days. Booting from solid state media is much faster than the
hard drives, it makes that transition from GS/OS to ProDOS 8 and back
much closer to an emulator in speed. I've g
