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? After a closer look and some help I know now that it is a Toshiba ethernet card in a PC-compatible slot (half-length). In the documentation it is called "LAN card for ethernet" (very specific, isn't it?). Anyone a clue? -- Juergen Nickelsen
