In light of such, I have a series of questions:
1) Who knows some stuff about ArcNet? I've gotten 4 cards (8-bit ISA) and
a
16-port active hub. I've read somewhere that
cards are either hubbable or
not. Any other info on that?
I've never used an active hub before... and was thus limited to 4 nodes
using my home-made passive hub.
2) Anyone have any (I think it is) 93ohm coax arcnet
patch cables that they
want to get rid of?
I think you'll have trouble if you use anything other than 63 ohm coax...
...
Formerly, the support for ARCNET in Linux was pretty week. However, there was
an ARCNET/LINUX mailing list for a long time, and the members were keeping the
driver sources up-to-date. The name of the list owner (or the guy cranking out
the code) was, first name, Avery, last name, Pennimum or something unusal.
