I scrounged up an old (circa 1987) Kinetics EtherPort II.  It has a REV
1.0 ROM (always an ominous rev).  The board is etched on the back as
Rev A, there is also a sticker on the back with Rev E.

I have no documentation or software to go with it.

The board has one switch SW1 that appears to be for selecting
thick/thin ethernet.

There are two jumpers J1 and J2.  I have no idea what they do.

Normally my mac will be connected to the network via SLIP.  But I need
to connect it via the ethernet to see if my NFS mount is failing as a
result of a SLIP problem or a NFS problem.

Do I need any drivers specific to this card to get it to work in my Mac
IIci under A/UX 2.0?  Should I get the ROM upgraded?

Who owns Kinetics these days and what is their tech support phone
number?

Thanks,
