I know I ask this question every couple of months (And the silence is deafening)
BUT - Does anyone out there remember IBM's cluster network, and if so, do they
have any technical/programming type information about it ?

This network was developed before IBM's `Original' PC Network adapter.
As far as I can make out - It's a 256Kbs bus network, 75Ohm coax, a type
of slow ethernet ???

Due to budgetry constraints, the 50 terminals I have on this network have to
survive just that bit longer. (Oh for a Packet Driver for the cluster card !)

Can anyone help ?
