	As am I.  I've also gotten an NE2000 ISA 10mbps network card to be 
detected and work under `ifconfig', but forgot how to deal with multiple 
network cards, so I didn't actually get it hooked up to the network. 
I've got a 3com 3c597 EISA card in there at the moment, but I think it's 
cooked, since it's MAC Address reports itself as all ff's.  I'm also 
hunting for an EISA Mach32 video card to see if maybe on the offchance, 
it's possible to build a VESA Compatible framebuffer for the system. 
That will prove to be an interesting experiment.
