[comp.unix.aux] Need Ethernet Card recommendation for A/UX

ken@slhisc.uucp (Ken Stamm) (04/23/91)

Hello. Perhaps some out there can recommend an ethernet card for use with
my Mac II running A/UX 2.0.  The following are my concerns:

1. Firstly, I would like a card which is register-level compatible with the
   ethernet drivers Apple has in 2.0 for it's ethernet card.  Why rely on 3rd party
   ethernet card vendors to get around to writing drivers (and maintaining them!)
   for AUX when A/UX isn't really a priority for them...

2. Does anyone know if the Apple ethernet drivers in 2.0 are the same as in 2.0.11?

3. Does anyone know if Apple's new ethernet card is register level compatible with
   the old card, and how that affects its operation with A/UX 2.0 or 2.0.1, given the
   answer to question 2. above?

4. Any one have a good recommendation?

   Would appreciate posting of replies as well a e-mail copy to

   Thanks!
