<p>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?<u></u><u></u></p>
