Well, Ethernet support doesn't really depend that much on NuBus. Already you can hook any Mac with a SCSI port to Ethernet, and there are Ethernet cards both for the SE and II. And now SE/30 is out, and so are the cards for the Direct Slot. Once you have your SE/30 with A/UX you would just plug in the verdor specific driver for your Ethernet card and start to NetWork. That's all there is to it. Or there should be. Of course, A/UX would have to support the Direct Slot cards, and Apple should have it's own Ethernet card for it (is there a one for the SE?). -- Jussi-Pekka Mantere jpm@cs.hut.fi Helsinki University of Technology, Finland jpm@finhutcs.bitnet Laboratory of Information Processing Science + 358 0 451 3231
