Greetings!
I'm hacking together an SC400 (486/66 PC on a chip) based design
and would like that design to serve double duty as the core of an
FBSD-based diskless system (e.g., a small X-terminal).
Unfortunately, none of the x86 MCU's are particularly
tolerant of external bus masters. And, sharing memory tends to
clutter these designs quickly. So, DMA is the only *painless*
way to interface to the core.
As such, are there any good suggestions for NIC's that would
fit well in this architecture? Preferably fast ethernet? Very
high integration is desirable to keep the size of the box down to
a minimum (i.e. PC/104 form factor).
Thx!
