Old days networking

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?
