On a slightly different topic, I tried to use an Asante SCSI/ethernet
adapter with my deluxe emplant, and it failed miserably. I've been unable
to find a problem with either the asante (on a real mac) or the emplant
(with another SCSI device). It's simply an incompatibility between the two.
Neither Jim nor Asante could figure it out.

Nevertheless, it was a wasted $300.
