[comp.dcom.lans] Question regarding 3COM Ethernet cards

k2@bl.physik.tu-muenchen.de (Klaus Steinberger) (05/15/91)

We are just using 3C503 Ethernet cards as a second Ethernet Interface
in our CD4330 (aka MIPS RC3230) box. But due to fact, that the AT-Bus of the
CD4330 can't do DMA, the local RAM on the 3C503 is too small (8k).
It's not possible to use NFS with 8k r/wsize.

Are there any 3COM interfaces, which are compatible to the 3C503 but with
more memory? At best it would be a 16bit card.

Sincerely,
Klaus Steinberger
