[comp.dcom.lans] LANCE Ethern*t controller chip

bjh@mtgzz.UUCP (01/14/87)

I am looking for user's experiences with the Thomson-MOSTEK
68590 LANCE Ethernet controller chip.  Many designs use the
Intel 82586, but I would like to interface to a 68000.

Device driver? Good things, bad things, comparisons ?

I believe the Sun Microsystems 3/50 (a 68020 box) uses a Lance
Ethernet chip.  We have many 3/50s here, and the chip seems to be
quite reliable.
