[SunRescue] Tatung Mariner 4i

[Ken Hansen]

What an odd and interesting box - ISA and SBUS on the same board!?

Please let us know as you learn about your new box... (You may want to
put together a simple page with whatever info you find and giving it to
Bill, as he was talking about adding a Sun-compatible hardware page to
SunHelp.org)...
