A restoration of the Xerox Alto Ethernet card and optical mouse, featuring visits from Ethernet pioneers Dave Boggs and Ron Crane.

This video is dedicated to the fond memory of Ron Crane, who left us on June 19, 2017. We bring up the Ethernet card and optical mouse, and are visited by Xerox Ethernet inventors and pioneer designers Dave Boggs and Ron Crane. [ Edit: and David Boggs left us on Feb. 19, 2022, leaving behind a world that runs on Ethernet.]
