[comp.sys.ibm.pc] ARCnet/twisted wire hardware

rs3r+@andrew.cmu.edu (Richard E. Stuart) (02/22/90)

Hi,

I'm looking for info about Standford Microsystems' ARCnet cards that
connect over twisted-pair telephone wire.  Supposedly, they sell retail
for about $300.  Has anyone out there used  Standford Microsystems'
ARCnet cards before?  All pointers and info will be much appreciated.

Thanx,
Stuart

I don't know if they're interoperable with Xinetron's twisted pair
ARCNET boards, but Xinetron sells TP ARCNET boards for $89.

Xinetron sells cheap Ethernet and Arcnet cards.  Their 8 bit Ethernet
card is $139 quantity one, and their 16 bit card is $165 quantity one.
We have packet drivers for both of them, and for their ARCNET board
also Their address is:

Xinetron, Inc.
