Yes, i think so. ftp.cdrom.com runs with 3 AHA-2940's, and it
shuffles about 30 GB/d out to the net.

There are a few known problems with HP-DAT drives, if i remember well.
Work on it is `in progress'.

Their has been a discussion about what would be necessary to implement
it (part of it is already existant since the FDDI driver does contain
some basic components of a token ring driver), but i don't think any-
body is actually going to implement it right now, sorry.
(Btw., you know the German pronounciation of TokenRing? ``Toten Ring'' :-)
