Okay, since you've hung onto them, I will accept your offer and take
them off your hands. Let me know when you trip over them next.

Is there a intel/AMD *nix that will actually use them?
Otherwise, it is probably an OS/2 ring of sorts.


The last time I went to our local markets, the ubiquitous computer parts
stall had a largish box of network cards for $1 each - yep, all token
rings.
