we have a classroom full of single floppy 6300's which used to connect to a
3B2 using starlan 1 NIC's and starlan software.
we dropped a starlan 1 NIC into a Novell server, plugged it into the hub,
rebooted the 6300's with a novell style boot disk and whamo, instant novell
network.
i was quite pleased with how smoothly it changed over.
