It's quite small at the moment but I'm starting to put together a collection of stuff at http://xinit.port5.com

Added Serveral IDE/ATA/ATAPI Docs and a PPP doc.

Pype.Clicker: What network card docs do you want?

Most of cards are ne2K compatiable! So why not that?
Eitherway it should, or will lead to simple TCP/IP stack.

most cards are not ne2k compatible, ne2k compat is really for old isa cards since ne2k was the standard back then. maybe modern cards still have some vestiges of ne2k compat? i didnt think they did anymore.

mine is a realtek (RTL8139/810) ...
i never heard of that ne2k stuff earlier ...

As far as I know too, NE2000 is just for old ISA based cards, it was the standard until the PCI network cards starting appearing and they don't use the standard.

In fact some of the plug and play ISA cards aren't truly NE2000 compatible either, they have to have fixed IRQ/Ports.

But there is about a dozen common network cards, one of mine is a VIA Rhine based card and the other a Realtek 8139. The other common ones are EEPro's and a couple of 3COM chipsets like the 3C509/590.

So supporting a good chunk of machines shouldnt be too difficult.

Dude, you have a layout problem with your site. if your using windows, go to properties>appearence>advanced and set window to black, view your site and the BG looks black. You need to put <body bgcolor="000000"> sorry but sites that forget that look really bad with my windows theme (Yahoo made the same mistake :)

HEy, it's up to you to define your default background and forground colors so that you can see web pages, it's not up to people that make html to take in account the fact that you asked for black-on-black ...

Yeah, ISA network cards tended to be NE2k, today, about half the PCI network cards are tuplips, and the other half is an assortment of this 'n' that.

Pete: might I suggest that instead of creating another OS dev library(which right now doesn't even have a quater of what Frank's library has), looking for docs that aren't in Frank's library and sending them to him?
