I have one of those though sadly it broke a couple years back and doesn't
work anymore.

And I have a number of these, both 77201 and 77211 variants, scattered
across several systems of various architectures in my lab.

Plus a bunch of TURBOchannel ATM interfaces, a couple of LightStream ATM
switches and some Ethernet switches with LANE ports. Never found time to
get this all set up, so I guess I can't complain really to see this stuff
