The Toshiba T5200 laptop (or better portable, considered the weight)
has a non-standard ethernet interface built in, which is not
documented (at least in the standard documentation of the T5200). The
only driver I have for this interface is the one delivered Toshiba's
own Unix (TP/IX), not even one for DOS. This ethernet interface does
not work with any of the clarkson packet drivers, I've been told.
I'd like to run 386bsd on this machine. I tried it with 0.0new, which
worked, but it was no fun without a network (except to localhost :-}).
Before I take the effort to install the recent version of 386bsd, I'd
like to know:
Does a driver for this ethernet interface exist?
Does anyone know of a description of the interface?
Thanks,
