	Any chance you can elaborate on how the cabling would be done for
three Amigas? I'm running NET: via the parallel port between the 2000 and
3000, but I'd sure like to hook the 1000 in also... It's wonderful to be
able to use any HD partition on any machine. :-) Normally, you just jumper
between select and acknowledge for two machines. No need for some sort of
token ring on three machines? Just look at all the packets and only intercept
those that are supposed to be talking to you?
	If I can just jumper the three machines together and add in a UNIT=2
to one, I'll be happy! :-)
