My ailing Miniscribe 9380 finally gave up the ghost last week, forcing
me to spend more time trying to figure out the Macintosh driver for
the Cabletron ethernet box.  Philip Z came to my rescue, arriving at
my door with not only his newly working system, but a replacement
disk! Luckily I had stashed a tar of my /sys and /usr/local
directories on his disk when loading the distributions for him, so I
was back on the air in just a few hours!  A few more hours (Saturday
3AM), and I had my pc532 speaking on the Ethernet through a Cabletron
SCSI/Ethernet box, and by 5AM it was speaking NFS as a client and
server!  Philip and I are pursuing some leads for more Cabletron
boxes.

I really can't thank Philip enough; first debugging my accursed reset
circuit, then finding the Cabletron units, and now bringing my system
back to life!  For someone who's joined our ranks only recently he's
jumped in with both feet and show a lot of the spirit that still makes
the 'ole pc532 fun to work on!  His comparison was to a BMW 2002; sure
it's old, but it's a lot of fun!
