Oh good... I was worried I might be tempted... just because...I bought it!
Please share a dump of the declaration rom if you can, in particular if the ports work without any additional driver. It would be interesting to know what is needed to get a new localtalk-compatible serial port working in a NuBus card.Let‘s see how it turns out: I bought it!
But didn't most Macs have 10mbs SCSI by the time PCI came 'round?yes thats the card. fast scsi because its suppose to be 10mbs instead of 5mbs

You don't even need any special tool; the ROM are directly accessible to MacOS when the board is in a Mac (and everything works). It's merely a matter of reading the proper addresses and dumping to a file. I don't have a specific piece of software, but someone on 68kmla is bound to have. There's collections of extracted ROM floating around such as from @demik pn GitHub, and people doing reverse engineering or restoration commonly extract ROMs.I have a TL866.. Actually, I think this card might not be extremely difficult to replicate! We could convert the design to SMD and use the free space for something like an AirTalk or so
The technical data sheet lists "• Interface to LocalTalk and other networks" under Applications, so it should be possible?

The 68008 may be custom programmed to handle unique, higher performance end-user applications such as MIDI, process automation and networking.
I'm thinking about getting one of these cards. Where were you able to find the drivers?Ok bad news.. The CSI Hurdler does not show up in Chooser, Network cdev or AIR. However, it seems to be compatible with MacPPP and ZTerm. With OpenTransport, it is also not listed in the PPP and AppleTalk control panels.
