	Using archivers/stuffit I can get from
	Network_Access_Disk_7.5.sea.bin to
	'Network Access Disk 7.5.sea.data' (and friends), which purports
	to be another SIT image. Trying to unstff that again dies with
		Network Access/Network Access Disk Read Me
		Network Access/Network Access.image Segmentation fault

	That was perfect! With that dd'ed to a floppy I now have the SE/30
	booting. Next step is to start looking on ebay for a network card
	and some 16MB sims to replace the 4MB it has!

	Many thanks!
