Can anyone help me identify what NuBus LAN card this is? If you can, can you also tell me where I can get the drivers from? It will be installed in a Macintosh IIci running System 7. Thanks!

This is a advert for the "Cascade Cassette 50" games collection. Personally I think this was one of the worse games collection ever released!
I scanned this advert from the "Computing with the Amstrad" magazine Vol.2 No.1 January 1986.

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
The Atari Stacy was Atari's first attempt at building an portable computer based on the Atari ST. It it the market in the end of 1989.
In 2011 I was looking to buy an Atari TT, inspired by a friend who just bought a Commodore SX64, a portable Commodore 64, which was kind of his dream computer. The TT was the computer I always dreamt about owning, so now I was searching Ebay and other places for one.
At the same time as I the TT I was going to buy on Ebay, there was an Atari Stacy for sale on Ebay as well, located in Stockholm. As this is a quite rare model as well, I thought it could be worth to try to win the action, and luckily I did.
My friend who bought the SX64 picked it up for me in Stockholm. The seller told him he was glad I won it, I was bidding against someone from South America, so the seller worried about how he would pack it and ship it.
This Stacy is pretty battered and well used, it has been used for what the Atari ST is best known for, it's MIDI-capabilities. The floppy drive was replaced and not working very well, and the 20MB hard drive was just making lots of noise. The ASCI-port and the internal SCSI-adapter seems broken as well, and the back light, which is known for it's limited life span, is barely working. Some keys on the keyboard isn't working due to a broken connection, but still it has one of the nicest keyboards I've ever used.
I've replaced the floppy and removed the hard disk (it had leaked some gooey fluid too all over the internals of the computer). I'm thinking of replacing the backlight with a modern LED backlight.

The Atari TT was Atari's flagship computer, boasting with a 32MHz 68030 CPU. When I learned about it I always dreamt of owning one, but back then there was just no way I could afford one.
But despite moving on to PC the dream was always there to one day own an Atari TT. And in the beginning of 2012, I was finally able to lay my hands on one on Ebay from Germany. When checking it more carefully it turns out it was sold on Ebay from Austria a couple of months earlier. It was then equipped with an extra graphics card and that owner had moved the two extra serial ports to the case, that's how I recognised it.
To my absolute horror it developed some bad hardware errors after a week, crashing all the time and refusing to boot, but luckily it turns out that since this is a relatively early model, most chips are in sockets, so all I needed to do was to push down on some chips to make it work again. But since then I'm really careful about not moving it about too much.
I've got 16MB of TT-RAm for it now, replaced the cooling fan and the clock battery. One of these days I plan to retro-bright the case as well.
Back where I once begun.
The Commodore 64 was my second computer after a Commodore VIC 20. Me and my brother had one for five years or so, before I got an Atari 520STfm. Many great memories with this machine.
Don't know why I took a photo of this. Maybe caus im proud it worked first time.
It allows me to connect my Oric-1 to my Amstrad CRT monitor that I use on my CPC 464/6128
