Grin, did someone mention Token Ring? One of my favorite toys to play with?
I've often found Token Ring better than EtherNet and AppleTalk.
While on the slew of topics, I must also say that I love SCSI. I used to be
a die-hard IDE fan and then came along a head-to-platter crash. Away went
three term papers. After that, I went to SCSi and haven't had an actual
failure yet (over 4 years, a few of my drives were used and over 9 to 10
years old). Plus, the whole idea of LUNS, ID's and Termination with chains
was more logical and reliable in the long run.
