[SPARCbook] external floppy problems

[Ken Hansen]

Why did you even unzip the floppy drive pouch? ;^)

Is there a good reason you are not using the built-in Ethernet interface?
sales at twmaster.com has the AUI cable you would need for $15.

HTH,

Ken
(BTW, are you ever going to get this GDM-1962b monitor from me? ;^)
