We have a ringnet board in an an XT clone here. It's been a while
since we put it in, but it's working fine. If I remember correctly,
we had a couple of porblems during the installation. The first was
that the hard disk controller on the XT uses the primary address
for the ringnet controller. The second was that our multi-function
board (time-of-day clock, memory, and monochrome diskplay) also 
interferred with the ringnet board. It turned out that we had to disable
the time-of-day clock in order to get the ringnet board to work.
