this is partly off-topic for this list, but the chip in the picture of the above I/O controller is surprisingly similar to the RTL8316 used on cheap 16-port switches, eg. http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/edimax/ The chip is interesting because it decodes some UDP packets to read/write an I2C EEPROM connected to its pins. As shown in the above URL, is trivial to bring the control lines out and so turn the 30$, 16 port switch into an ethernet-to-microcontroller interface. cheers luigi _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
