Date: Sun 24-Nov-1989 06:24:24 From: Unknown Subject: Kinetics Ethernet Board Kinetics was working on an Ethernet Board which would have both twisted pair and transceiver connections. It was supposed to be waiting on version 1.0 software. Is it now available? Has anyone actually used it? There were also rumors of a appletalk or localtalk or whatever variant. Are there now such boards? ====================================================================== Alex Woo, MS 227-2 | woo@pioneer.arc.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | woo@ames-nas.arpa Moffett Field, CA 94035 | {seismo,topaz,lll-crg,ucbvax}! ====================================================================== {hplabs,hao,ihnp4,decwrl,allegra,tektronix,menlo70}!ames!pioneer!woo ====================================================================== >From: izumi@violet.berkeley.edu (Izumi Ohzawa)

Is it now And it also requires the availability of the Bus Interface Chip, which must go into the empty socket on the NeXT's board (You must have seen that if you intalled the 1.0 ROM), and also into the board anybody is building. What's the status of the Bus chip availability? When do 3-rd party board developers get them (if not already)? And when do we get one for our cubes?
