 DR> Ever heard of this bloody thing?? Where do I get the drivers?
It's a proprietary 2mb per sec. ethernet adapter for Artisoft's Lantastic. 
Microsoft networking will not support these. There is/was a Win95 version of 
Lantastic, but I don't think it supports these cards either; they're from 
several Lantastic versions back.

Yep. Daisy-chain. Like Coax.

Might still be cable diagrams on the Artisoft web site. www.artisoft.com
