Hi,
I'm wondering if the DEC DE205 uses PIO mode instead of shared mem under
NetBSD, because I found the following in the Linux-Ethernet-HOWTO:
"These cards use a proprietary chip from DEC, as opposed to the LANCE chip
used in the earlier cards like the DE200. These cards support both shared
memory or programmed I/O, although you take about a 50%performance hit if you use
PIO mode."
I can only get the "2K window" (and I think it's shared mem). Is it possible
to force PIO mode, or is it the "2K window" already?
Regards
Felix
