I am not aware of any support for the 3B1/7300 to co-exist with TCP/IP or NFS. The box has a proprietary bus and the only expansion cards that I have heard of are RAM, rs-232 and AT&T Starlan. The 7300 will read DOS files (only 360K format) and allow you to copy them to the Unix file system. Feasibly, you could connect the box Asynchronously. -- Grant M.
