[comp.os.minix] Ethernet drivers for V1.3 networking

PILLAY.KDA@EXETER.AC.UK (02/17/90)

Hi,
Has anyone modified the Ethernet driver under the V1.3 amoeba software
to run on a different type of Ethernet card (or other). I am in possession
of two types of cards:
        BICC Isolan Ethernet
        Some Taiwanese E1000 cards.
It has been extremely difficult trying to obtain any hardware information
on those cards and as Andy say the information regarding the WD 1003E
card is " guarded like the crown jewels ".
Thanks.
Ken.

If the w1003e is similar to a w8003e, driver source is availible from the 
NCSA Telnet folks as shown in the blurb below:
