Message-ID: <Bwu61z.2Dw@umassd.edu> Sender: usenet@umassd.edu (USENET News System) Organization: University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1992 14:39:33 GMT Lines: 35 I realize that forsale postings are frowned upon in this group ; however, I am offering to sell compatible hardware to i386/486 users of Mach and BSD386. I have SIX (6) 3COM 501 Ethernet cards for the ISA bus to sell - as a cheap and reliable solution to people wanting network capability. Details follow: Hardware: Thin (10base2) and AUI support Takes an 8-bit slot - works with any ISA based PC Clone Onboard frame buffer with DMA transfer <-> host Fully strappable for DMA 0-3, INT 2-7, I/O and MEM address ** Can be run at elevated ISA bus speeds, if your motherboard supports it! We run ours on an ISA bus clocked at 16 MHz rather than the 'standard' 8 MHz. It's fast! Compatibility: i386 Mach 2.5 (MSD2.6) and Mach 3.0 from CMU,Mt. Xinu BSD386 Compatible Very compatible with DOS/Windows based software: Sun PC/NFS v3.5 Latest version of FTP Software's PC/TCP Clarkson Packet Driver support for WinQVT/SOS/etc. All of the cards are TESTED on a running Mach 3.0 based i486/ISA machine. I will ship them at my cost C.O.D. for $50.00/each ; I can provide references as to my trustworthiness on sales over the net. ...............
