- Re:-Enquiry on Networking, Ethernet Cards and Minix 1.5 PC
-
- Hello folks,
-
- 1. Choice of Ethernet Card to be used with Minix 1.5 PC
- I am writing to ask whether I can obtain some details regarding to the
- relation of Minix 1.5 PC and Ethernet. Could you kindly give any
- suggestions to enable networking over Ethernet in order to build a
- distributed system. Please may you also clarify the Ethernet cards
- manufacturer, product number and ethernet controller chip part
- number on the board.
-
- 2. Problem with Western Digital Ethernet controller chips
- However, I have two Western Digital Ethercard Plus Elite cards,
- which is also known as WD8003EP. The currently available cards
- no longer use the DP8390 Network Interface Controller chip, instead
- the WD83C690 is used. Could you please kindly give any suggestions
- to enable networking on MINIX 1.5 PC and use those Ethernet cards.
-
- Looking forward to your earliest reply. Your help is very much appreciated.

- Yours
