DM9008
ISA/Plug & Play Super Ethernet Contoller
General Description
The DM9008 Ethernet controller is a highly integrated design
that provides all Medial Access Control (MAC) and
Encode-Decode (ENDEC) functions in accordance with the
IEEE 802.3 standard. Network interfaces include 10BASE5 or
10BASE2 Ethernet via the AUI port and 10BASE-T via the
Twisted-pair. The DM9008 Ethernet controller can interface
directly to the PC-AT ISA bus without any external device. The
interface to PC-AT ISA bus is fully compatible with NE2000
Ethernet adapter cards, so all software programs designed for
NE2000 can run on the DM9008 card without any modification.
Microsoft's Plug and Play and the jumperless software
configuration function are both supported. The capability of the
PnP and Non-PnP mode auto-switch function allows users to
configure network card. No jumpers or switches are needed to
set when using either the PC or PnP function. The integrated
8Kx16 SRAM and 10BASE-T transceiver make DM9008 more
cost-effective.
