[net.micro] Looking for a VMEbus Ethernet board

wolit@alice.UUCP (Jan Wolitzky) (05/13/85)

The title just about says it all.  Anyone have any pointers or
recommendations about Ethernet boards for the VMEbus?

[I'm sure that Ethernet and VME are both SOMEBODY'S registered
trademarks.]

Communications Machinery Corporation
1421 State Street
Santa Barbara, CA  93101
805-963-9471

	Makes a M68000-based Ethernet controller for VMEbus.  IP/TCP
and XNS software available.  IP/TCP software lacks ARP at current release;
CMC claims fix Real Soon Now. 

Excelan
408-559-3246

	Makes a IAPX-186-based Ethernet controller for VMEbus.  IP/TCP
software works, but a bit fragile; tends (in Masscomp host) to hang frequently.


Both units are in the $3000-3500 price range.
