How fun! I just got back late from a hot date with a washing machine to 
find a flurry of email regarding the '532! I'll look into sources. More 
may even pop up from the other subscribers out there; what I basically 
scared up, at Phil B.'s description, was a box which we used to use on 
older-style Macintoshes which had a SCSI port on the rear panel. This 
Cabletron box has a DB25 on one side and an RJ45 on the other side and a 
socket for a wall wart to provide power.

I'll do more snooping tomorrow for price & availability.

I'm kinda sorry about leaving the et532 pursuit for the last few weeks,
what with being busier than ever at work and then vacationing and all, but
if the Cabletron performance is acceptable, this may be a less costly and
quicker-to-fabricate solution.
