    Not very encouraging.

     Description

    The DEFPA adapters provide 100 Mbits-per-second FDDI LAN connectivity
    for any PCI V2.1-compliant host platform and are backward compatible
    with any PCI V2.0-compliant host platform.  The DAS (Dual Attachment Station) options can be connected as DAS, SAS (Single Attachment
    Station), or dual homed adapters. Both SAS and DAS options can operate
    in full duplex mode (OFF by default) when connected point-to-point with
    a cooperating full duplex adapter or FDDI switch.

    I wonder if this Dell Optiplex 7010 supports a PCI FDDI adapter.

            FDDI
    7010 <------> 9590  Direct connect, maybe an FDDI switch...

    There isn't a USB FDDI adapter... Laptops don't have much for
    expansion....
