Interesting. Pity it's even more proprietary than Apple's solution ---
great for networking a bunch of computers, but maybe not so great if
you want something "open". Oh well. Wait another 5 years, and someone
will build an Ether card and market it to the entire 10 users left by
then :)

You really should take a bit more positive look at things Soenke!  For 
your information and everybody elses - I've located one of these rare 
IIGS Ethernet cards.  It can be reengineered, redesigned and marketed, 
for a lot less that most of the other Ethernet cards, on the market 
today for the other computers.  Apple Computer, Inc. may have given up 
on marketing it. But, we sure haven't!

The President of DIGICARD is a team member of 1WSW-CA, by the way.  You
want have to wait 5 years for such a products introduction.  It's 
already in the works.  And, rest assured in five years time there will 
be a lot more than 10 users left - to market it to!  I'd say a good 
estimate in numbers (including Virtual IIGS Units and Users) would be 
somewhere around 50 million - worldwide, in five years time!  

Let's see if you can figure that 'ONE' out - buddy?
