...and from the "Better late than never" department...

A few years ago I started poking around at adding support for the 3c515
10/100 ISA (yes, you heard that right) Ethernet adapter... well, I finally
finished it up tonight (it involved digging through boxes from one office
and two house moves), and am punishing myself my using it as the main
Ethernet interface in my API UP1000 Alpha machine (please, don't let the
irony of using an ISA Ethernet card in a high-performance Alpha workstation
get lost, especially when you consider I've been doing Gigabit Ethernet
testing/benchmarking on this machine for the past couple of weeks).

In case anyone cares, the 3c515 is a 3c905 ``Boomerang'' chip,
which has been stuck behind a Texas Instruments ISA->PCI glue
chip, i.e. a gigantic hack (it's called ``Corkscrew'' for a
reason :-)  The thing can apparently do DMA (I presume it acts
as an ISA busmaster), but I don't know that that works (it's
hacked), so we do PIO on the chip, like the 3c574 ``Roadrunner''
PCMCIA 10/100 cards...

Anyway, not that I expect anyone to actually *HAVE* any of these
cards, but if you do, enjoy :-)
