I think chips on board are SMC ultra chip and >83790. I will check this later. After playing with an SMC EISA 100bT card at work, I've come to the conclusion that we'll be lucky to find any SMC EISA cards that we can/will/do support. It seems (at least for 100bT) that they have gone with one of these custom chipsets which they are reluctant to part with specs on, and I don't doubt that they have done the same for most, if not all, of the rest of their EISA range :-( DEATH TO NDA'S!
