Thanks for the suggestion, but going that route would cost at least twice
as much as replacing the model 50 with something with AT style slots.
Maybe someday we will break the 1Mb net into subnets with a 10Mb backbone
which would make it worth getting the 10-1 converters but first we have
to upgrade to the OSI protocols (sigh..).
