But it seems there is a DEC } and Fore 200 support available also. I was told last week, the Efficient ENI-155 PCI ATM driver is under testing, and the speed almost reaching 100 Mbps (not comfirmed yet; probably in 2 months) The same driver can work for FORE-200. } ... } --------- } Someone at Zeitnet said in Feb 96, that they were about to ship drivers } for PC Unix include BSD/i, at that time they referred questions to: } info@zeitnet.com Zeitnet should have formal release PCI ATM driver for both BSDi and FreeBSD. It supports BSDi BSD/OS 2.0, 2.1, may be 3.0; FreeBSD 2.1.0, 2.1.5, 2.2-ALPHA (I just tested it). They also has SBus card and others. The SBus speed is about 120 Mbps, but PCI card only goes 50 Mbps so far. The difference may be caused by on board memory. The ENI has 4-MB on board memory (FIFO), the Zeitnet ZN1221 PCI ATM has only 4-KB FIFO. /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v -- Internet: j_guojun@lbl.gov ---\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!j_guojun@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov | \--Ph#:(510) 486-7531 + Fax: 486-6363 --^--http://www-itg.lbl.gov/ITG.html-/
