[MLB-WIRELESS] is this useble for us?

On the other hand I can compile FreeBSD to run on a Sun box...

worst case would be hacking the driver to work with solaris... not impossible, 
but I haven't done it yet... :-)

I have a sparc 2 and sparc IPX... maybe getting a SS5 later... they all use 
sbis and scsi.  So the thing about this is it is hardware to do pcmcia-scsi.  
the real issue is driver support for the bridge and THEN support for the 
individual card.

I would lve to play with this in my mythical spare time, but it would have to 
cost less than $50 for me to consider it at this point...
