I am looking to connect my PC compatible to the network here at Cornell.
I could get an ethernet card, but I saw an advertisement from someone
selling a 'TOPS flashcard'.  THe card is >3 years old?  He says that the
software was upgraded to v2.1.

Does anybody know this piece of hardware and software.  How old is it?
How well does it work?  What's it worth?  Is there any other hardware,
software, or cables that I would need?

I thought I once heard that TOPS was bought-out.  Is this true?  Who
is supporting this card now?

Also, I use microsoft windows almost exclusively.  Will this card and
software work with MS Windows?  Can you print through the MS Windows print
manager?  Are there software upgrades for Windows available and is this
recommended?

I appreciate any and ALL comments you have about this!
