	What is QNX?

	I'm currently running a 3-Com Ethernet card on on the IBM buss. Is this
this the bus you are talking about? 

	CBM mentions another card in their 2088 manual, but I don't have it
handy, it's at work. I'm also running Sun's PC-NFS software to connect.

	No problems, so far. Im beating this to configuration to death, and
it works well.

	Performance? I don't know what QNX is, so I can't tell you about
software performance. Im currently running the Acorn RISC processor on the
IBM buss. The throughput is bottled up in that poor 8-bit 8088 running at
4.77 MHZ. If you want more throughput, I would hold out for the upcoming
80286 or 80386 bridgecards, if and when they appear. (They surfaced at
COMDEX).

	You got it.
