	Ethernet board

Misc Software: Toolkit, Comm, Pascal, DECUS C, Kermit, PRO/Sight,
Synergy, and probably some stuff I've forgotten about.

What's wrong with it:  I had a power supply connector problem a while
back that apparently caused trash to get written on the disk, in such a
way that I can't get it to work with P/OS 2.0 anymore.  1.5 works, which
I think indicates that the bad-block table is bashed.  Odds are
replacing the disk will get the more modern software working, as
everything worked perfectly before the disk went bad, and seems to work
fine under 1.5.

What do I want for it?  I don't have a very clear idea what this
antiquated equipment is worth, in these days of under-$2000 68K machines
with megabytes of disk and ram etc, so I think I'll just leave it on a
"best offer" basis.  No reasonable offer will be refused.  I'd prefer to
sell it as a set, 'cause it's less headaches, but if you're interested
in some piece or other, let me know, and maybe we can work something
out.
