I got ahold of a Wintel notebook today and used it to test the FiberLine
network card. Regardless of the pity state of the connector, the card
worked flawlessly. I managed to transmit a 5 MB file without problems.
So the hardware is ok, the problem is on the Newton. Maybe the ATLAN
driver is not completely compatible to the card, maybe it's something
else. Are there any standard procedures I could try, anything similar to
"boot with extensions off", "zap PRAM" on the Mac?
