I have built the adapter about a year ago and used it a long time on my
MegaST. Recently I got a TT and found out there were some timing problems
in the driver. I have fixed them (but a new version of MintNet containing
the fixes is not out yet). The DE600 works now very well on my TT, I get
about 200k/sec (!) TCP throughput on an idle network.

I have recently started playing with linux68k and intend to port the
driver (and maybe the plip driver as well) to l68k.
