66 The CS8900-based ISA Ethernet Adapters from Cirrus Logic follow
67 IEEE 802.3 standards and support half or full-duplex operation in ISA bus
69 in 16-bit ISA or EISA bus expansion slots and are available in
70 10BaseT-only or 3-media configurations (10BaseT, 10Base2, and AUI for 10Base-5
73 CS8920-based adapters are similar to the CS8900-based adapter with additional
85 or loaded at run-time as a device driver module.

111    * Cirrus Logic LAN (CS8900/20-based) Ethernet ISA Adapter
113    * IBM or IBM-compatible PC with:
115      * 16 bytes of contiguous IO space available between 210h - 370h
116      * One available IRQ (5,10,11,or 12 for the CS8900, 3-7,9-15 for CS8920).
118    * Appropriate cable (and connector for AUI, 10BASE-2) for your network
125    * CS8900/20 Setup Utility (DOS-based)
135 --------------------------
154 Both the CS8900 and CS8920-based adapters can be configured using parameters
155 stored in an on-board EEPROM. You must use the DOS-based CS8900/20 Setup
159 configuration parameters on the command-line to override the EEPROM's settings
160 or for interface configuration when an EEPROM is not used. (CS8920-based
163 Since the CS8900/20 Setup Utility is a DOS-based application, you must install
164 and configure the adapter in a DOS-based system using the CS8900/20 Setup
166 installing a CS8900-based adapter and the default configuration is acceptable.)

505 The 2 and 3-media adapters have two LEDs visible on the back end of the board
506 located near the 10Base-T connector.
508 Link Integrity LED: A "steady" ON of the green LED indicates a valid 10Base-T
509 connection.  (Only applies to 10Base-T.  The green LED has no significance for

535 diagnostic self-test.  Normally, the ISA resource in conflict will fail the
536 self-test.  If so, reconfigure the adapter selecting another choice for the
543 diagnostics self-test to ensure the new configuration is free of conflicts
