    I really liked my Win 3.11 equipped Arm laptop ($4200), my first 
computer with graphics and Internet.  Old computers recall the thrill 
of those early explorations.  Assuming they loaded PCMCIA drivers with 
Win 3.11, these 2 PCMCIA cards might work:

    Netgear FA510 Ethernet card, drivers on floppy
    USB 2.0 dual port USB card, might be able to find drivers

    Available for loan, Nashua.
