I realize that forsale postings are frowned upon in this group ; however, I am
offering to sell compatible hardware to i386/486 users of Mach and BSD386.

I have SIX (6) 3COM 501 Ethernet cards for the ISA bus to sell - as a cheap
and reliable solution to people wanting network capability. Details follow:


Hardware:	 Thin (10base2) and AUI support
		 Takes an 8-bit slot - works with any ISA based PC Clone
		 Onboard frame buffer with DMA transfer <-> host
		 Fully strappable for DMA 0-3, INT 2-7, I/O and MEM address
	      ** Can be run at elevated ISA bus speeds, if your motherboard
		 supports it! We run ours on an ISA bus clocked at 16 MHz
		 rather than the 'standard' 8 MHz. It's fast!

Compatibility:	 i386 Mach 2.5 (MSD2.6) and Mach 3.0 from CMU,Mt. Xinu
		 BSD386 Compatible
		 Very compatible with DOS/Windows based software:
			Sun PC/NFS v3.5
			Latest version of FTP Software's PC/TCP
			Clarkson Packet Driver support for WinQVT/SOS/etc.

All of the cards are TESTED on a running Mach 3.0 based i486/ISA machine.

I will ship them at my cost C.O.D. for $50.00/each ; I can provide
references as to my trustworthiness on sales over the net.
