Hi fans,
I used ether=type=3C509 in plan9.ini (as advised
somewhere for 3C905). I have tried 3C905B with
"rx timeout" message after running b.com.
Loading 9pc from floppy does not help either...
It is strange that 9pc can not work with the
driver b.com uses successfully.
I would be glad if the card (3c905 tx) would work
at all (no full-duplex and 100 Mb/s), because
the wd8013 that I used last year are gone away
from our pc-lab.
If full source for a new etherelnk3.c does not
solve the problem (I have installed all updates
boddles ported so far), maybe it would be good
to make available a 9pc (with tcp fs for me)
that can handle 3c905 ? (forsyth's move now,
would be very appreciated...)
It would be some progress, because this problem
persists for a year or two...
Graphics 9term for unix/windows would be also
very nice way out...
Thanks for replies and excuse me for NIS mistaking
my UID as httpd.
