The version I'm looking at, v1.26, just sleazily extracts the info from what
is obviously a Digital SROM (aka EEPROM) format. Unless their apparently-
pointless Tx copy is actually used for copy-align, it seems to be a pretty
complete 21140A work-alike. It's a much closer clone than e.g. the STmicro
chip or a PNIC-2.
