We just received two of their boards and have them working in model 80s.
The stuff looks very good.  The manual is easy to understand and well
written, better than their competitor's manual.  We were very pleased.  
They are the only company I know of that makes the board for MCA bus
machines.  This is the Tangent Technologies board (Tangent went out of
business.)  We are running their printer driver stuff and TOPS file serving 
on the board as well.  We have not tried their AFP sharing software.

My only problem now is to get TOPS file serving software working at the
same time Microsoft Windows/386 is running.  I am having problems with
this--rather unstable after fighting to get it working at all.  If anyone
can help me out with that environment I'd appreciate it!
