I recently bought a large lot of SMC EISA 16Mb token ring cards at an
online auction for pennies on the dollar.  If any serious developer
wants to hack an EISA token ring driver, I'll donate a couple of
cards.  Of course, you'll need your own hub or MAU to plug them in.

You should be able to use the Linux token ring support as a base of
code from which to extract knowledge and ideas.  Just remember you can
always copy ideas, but not the way they're expressed.
