     I've been told by several sources that the Tandy 6000 can address
a 3rd 3-port card although it's only officially supported for two.

     I've been trying to get a 3rd 3-port card to work in my machine
and have had zero success. I've created device files with 0/10, 0/11,
and 0/12 for major/minor device numbers.

     I have the address switches set on the card:

         1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8
     ON  X  X

     The first card has just switch 1, the second just switch 2.
     I have tried the stock z80ctl, didn't work. I've tried the z80ctl
that comes in the m6010.tar package, and the z80ctlmux. The last one
wouldn't work with the existing ports let alone address this card.

     I remade the kernal. The symbol SZ80SER or something to that effect
is set to 13.

     Can anyone give me a clue? Switch settings, etc?

     Also, does anyone know if any kind of ethernet tcp/ip
hardware/software package is available for these machines? (I know,
dream on).
