Fri Oct 24 11:53:50 PDT 1997 — I’m pleased to report that Ultra’s transition to 100Mbps full duplex Ethernet went quite well, and news is now running at this speed. The networking on this motherboard is an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100, aka the ‘Speedo’ chip. This on board fast Ethernet is the same as the one on Thunder’s new motherboard, and we’ll be working on Thunder next. For those who have an interest in the full duplex aspects of this, I’ll make a post about CSMA/CD networks on news:sonic.net shortly.
