Thems the breaks, but maybe it's as Herman said and there is support for it 
out there. I suspect it will be away from our little community here unless 
you want to do the Arcnet RTnet port though, as the two standards seem to 
have different ideas about licensing.

I've done a RTnet driver port before, it's not trivial, unless you are really 
running into a brick wall on the straight Arcnet stuff I'd avoid it.

That's sort of a left-handed compliment
although I don't think you meant it as such.
