[comp.os.minix] ISOLAN Ethernet

zawada@cs.qmw.ac.uk (Simpson) (03/25/91)

Has anybody written, or know about a driver for the ISOLAN
ethernet card from BICC Data Networks Type 4110-2 for the IBM
AT.

If not, has anybody got any information about the calls to it.

Does anybody know if networking minix can use the netbios, and
if so, does the kernel have to be a bios one.

Thanks

Some time ago I wrote two packet drivers (for MS DOS!) for the
BICC ISOLAN and ISOLINK controllers. You can obtain them from
the Clarkson archives, the drivers will give you an idea on
how the card is controlled. For the 16-Bit card (I think that's the 
4110-2) the manual which describes the Lance chip is
'Local Area Network Controller Am7990 (Lance)' from
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
