[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Tech info req for Tigan enet/disc ctlr

aek@Apple.COM (Al Kossow) (08/29/88)

I have a full-length ibm pc combined winc/thin ethernet controller
from a company called Tigan that i'd like to use for a ethernet monitor,
but I haven't been able to find any data on it. It uses an intel 82586
enet chip, and the WD10xx chips for the winc. The only identification is
on the top of the board where is says:

"TIGAN INC."
"ETHERNET/DISK CONTROLLER BD 5010CO"

Has anyone ever heard of this card?

I've heard of it.  It is as you say, an 82586 combined with a disk controller.
Last I knew, Tigan could be reached at:

	Tigan Communications
	4020 Fabian Way
	Palo Alto, CA  94303
	(415) 493-1486

Don't know what software support exists, except probably Netware.
