 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 
go.  Still sad to see the continuous trend to strip Linux of features. :(
