Going to do that as soon as I find a place to get an oscillator that doesn't
charge $10 postage.

A person could always butcher an NE2000 or similar. They are easy to drive
with a uC, so an apple2 based setup should be easy too.
Or, see #2. Why not a USB based NIC. I know when I d #2 I'm going to try
doing a bluetooth adaptor driver. But mass storage will come first.
