A/ROSE isn't needed for any Mac that has built in ethernet. It's for NuBus cards that have a Motorola 68000 CPU on them. Notably the Apple Token Ring and Apple Ethernet NB. (Like one poster said, he took A/ROSE out and his Ethernet NB card quit working.) Any other cards need A/ROSE? ===== Subatomic conspiracy group: The Free Mesons. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
