artifact that should never have gone through... my bad.)

For my own edification and education, what does "only supports memory mode"
mean exactly? (If this is a can of worms you don't have the time or
inclination to open, that's fine).

I have no serial port on this machine, but I'll copy what I need by hand. I
assume it's not just the /vlbus/isa/ethernet@i300 section that is relevant.
What else do I need?
(FWIW, here's the ethernet stuff nonetheless):
****    /vlbus/isa/ethernet@i300
interrupts  0000000b
            00000003
reg         00000001    00000300    00000010
compatible    CS8900
model         CS8900
device_type     network
name            ethernet

I'm sure you did, one's eyes tend to glaze a bit when slogging through
archives at 4AM...
Thanks.

One other thing: My clock battery is dead, I didn't mention it because it
shouldn't matter, but stranger things have happened....
