Tja, YOUR RIGHT! Maybe even 10 feet! But I will have a look:
Most of them are SMC pc130(E) cards.(12) They use smc22063 chips
ther are only 4 with com90c65 chips (2 SMC, 2 Connect Int.)
3 8-bit cards (Miniware) with com9026 (1 has ncr 90c26, should be the same)
and 2 16-bit cards with com90c26 (SMC PC500FS, the only one still supported by Novell
Netware)
And one very special: Xircom Pocket Arcnet adapter.
For almost all of the cards, manuals and software (5 1/4") is there too.
In the SMC Arcnet Active Hub are no big chips.
So, if you stay with your type of chip, then I don't have anything for you!
Why not make a connection based on NE2000 compatible chips? (like UMC UM90xx) Most of
those cheap lanadapters have even less components. Should be even easier. And probably
more people could enjoy your effort, because I think Arcnet cards are getting even
more scarse then MSX computers! But then again, I am no expert.

Well, I was thinking of ripping a card for the components I need for
the MSX-side, and use a fresh one for the PC. But maybe I can also leave it
'alive' and make an interface (like ACCnet, or what was it called?) to the
MSX.
I just have one question: do you know which chipset is used, because
my initial idea was to use a COM20020 from SMC. If it's another chip, I
would have to look for the documentation and see if it fits my needs.
Can you have a look at one of the boards? Or do you have them buried
under a six feet heap of other technical equipment you once thought you were
going to use (like I do) ;-)
Greetz,
Patrick
