I've got one of these, too, but I thought I would have to have a Netware
Server on the network to feed it.

I got mine in a grab bag at Dayton a few years ago. It's 10Base2, and
the large chips on it are an 80C188 (CPU), DP83902V (Ethernet), an ASP-
branded gate array ("GBIM ASB4101") and an EPROM ("JETLAN 00065-000-2.33")

I'm looking for a card with better OS support, but if I could get this
one working, I'd be satisfied with it.

If I have to run print jobs through a server, the only thing I have that could
fit the bill is a SPARC-LX running Solaris 7. If I have to have a dedicated
server, I might as well build a Linux box and hang the printer off the
parallel port. I have 0 interest in getting into Netware.
