- I got an upgrade kit to convert one of our 5000/200s to a 240. In the
- instructions they tell you to remove the ESAR chip (located in a socket on the
- motherboard) from the 200 and put it into the 240. 'Course there already was an
- ESAR chip in the 240 motherboard as shipped. . . but that's another story. The
- physical chip (a 16 pin DIP) is labled "ENET ADRS".
-
- So what is it, and why whould you change it out?
