<p><span>Those were the days, a parallel to Ethernet adapter circa
1993. IIRC you could use a floppy with drivers and a .bat file
to boot into MS Dos and be able to use a network. If you
remember folks Ethernet adapters weren't built into computers
back then, but all had a parallel port. This was a particularly
nice gadget to have when configuring early laptops. This was the
desirable version of that Xircom gadget that had both kinds of
Ethernet, remember when Ethernet was 50 ohm coax?</span></p>
