Looking for Dongleville

Anybody live in Dongleville? (the place where all missing PCMCIA dongles
disappear to)

Sitting on my desk I have 3 PCMCIA cards I recently purchased that are
missing dongles/orphans;

Noteworthy SCSI II adapter, NWSCSI01
3Com EtherLink 10bt, 3C589D
Xircom Netwave Adapter, CNW

The Xircom doesn't need a dongle, it needs a friend, ie another card or a
base station thing. Xircom sold to Baytech, which passed it on to Nortel,
but some old drivers are out there on ftp. I am looking to buy/trade for
another card/base, or sell the little devil to somebody that has them. Not
fast, 40k Bps, but anything wireless seems like kind of a fun toy.

3Com dongle I KNOW will turn up, so I am less wild about getting one from a
distant place, but all deals considered.

Noteworthy, it isn't real clear to me just what I would do with this one,
but I suspect the dongle is pretty obvious given the SCSI2 connector it
must have. If I could use it with one of my old laptops to field test hard
drives it would be worth some cost for a cable, but I haven't found
anyspecs for it.

BTW I bought the 3Com and Noteworthy from a scrapper with a box full at $5
each.
