Yes- There's an Adaptec SCSI to ethernet adapter, that works very well, I have used it a lot on the pb100, a bit more primitive than the 180 :) There are actually several models (Asante EN/SC, mini-EN/SC, some others); the one that I have used that works with the pb100 is the mini-EN/SC. Some of the other models worked fine with e.g. SE or SE/30, but I could not get them to work on the powerbook 100. It's pretty cute- very small, draws power from the ADB port, so nice tidy little adapter to use- the others were much larger and needed a wall wart. You should be able to ebay them for not a painful sum. Asante has tech specs and drivers still on their web site (as of a couple months ago).
