I looked into this, but the SCSI ethernet adapters that I saw (for the
Mac) were around $300, so not a lot would be gained by that (except
that then I could have ethernet on my 500....)  The other problem is
getting information out of the manufacturer that will allow the driver
to be written.  (But you do have a good idea....)

: There are a wealth of cheap PC parallel adaptors out there.

I haven't seen any of these.  What's the price range on them?
