Specially to Victor:
If you know that a specific Ethernet card would be compatible with the
NE2000 driver and that the only modification to do would be to recognize the
card by adapting the product and appropriate strings in the Newton package
that is used to include the C++ code for the driver, then if any user with
such a card would run the GetCardInfo package and email me the resulting
Notepad note, I believe I could easily create a specific package for that
card. That driver could then be uploaded in the Ethernet section on chuma.
What say you, Victor (and others with possible Ethernet card candidates)?

On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage. Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted. See aliasing bug, precedence lossage, smash the stack, memory leak, memory smash, overrun screw, core.
