As stated before, this is a just a daisy-chain ring type network (that
is, the
ring is both physical and logical) that operated using a token-passing
scheme.
It was proprietary to Apollo as far as I know.
I've got a few of these cards laying around, unfortunately without
machines to
go with them. They're full-length ISA-bus cards with something like a
6W2 (six
pins and two BNC-type connectors ala a 13W3 monitor connector) that one
would
connect a small dongle to. The dongle has two BNC ports on it ("in" and
"out").
Interesting stuff...
