I have seen the inside of an 8228. And you're right.
Perhaps I misused the term "passive". I meant to refer to the fact
that there is virtually no safety or electrical issues re: the label
supposedly limiting use to a particular country. Since the only
connection is to the Token Ring itself, there are no issues re:
connecting to power or equipment external to the Ring. Therefore,
since Token Rings are identical around the world, it would be completely
interchangeable and usable.

I appreciate the chance to clarify myself. :-)
