Because those cards were rare and expensive. I've only seen two in my
life, one I bought for an SE/30 which cost almost as much as the machine,
and an old Nubus one that I got in a IIcx that someone gave me a few
years ago. The machine was worthless because some idiot removed the RAM
to use in a PC and took the ROM too.

How did you do it? I've done it with Netatalk on Linux and CAPS before that.

Sounds good to me. I have not been able to get one here. :-(
