Controlling the Ethernet LAN Interface Directly

Of course, you can create any application or software driver to directly control the SMC Ethernet controller chip used on the Little Board/486e CPU. Ampro has designed the interface to conform to the standards and recommendations set forth by the controller chip manufacturer. To develop a custom driver, you need detailed information on the SMC9000-series controller chip, which is available from SMC. Contact SMC at the following address:
