STD NET100 cards shipped!
Stuart Tyrrell
=========================
We received our first retail batch of NET100 cards from Simtec on
Friday. All outstanding orders for cards have been shipped by Royal
Mail Special Delivery, and all customers who have ordered interfaces
will receive them before 12 on Monday morning.
We do have a small number of cards available ex-stock for anyone who
would like to obtain one immediately. Further supplies are to be
shipped to all NET100 partners next week, and ample stock will be
available at the Wakefield show.
About NET100:
NET100 is a 10/100BaseT full/half duplex network card available for
RiscPC and A7000 series machines, commissioned by a partnership of
Stuart Tyrrell Developments, RComp and CTA/Riscstation.
The NIC interface, designed and manufactured by Simtec on behalf of
the partners offers a highly integrated solution, drawing on Simtec's
expertise of high-speed multi-layer PCB design, preferred status with
device suppliers and continued commitment to the RISC OS market.
The interface is fully FLASH upgradeable and allows users to add
almost 500KBytes of their own modules to the FLASH memory if they
wish. An asymmetrical 16K packet buffer reduces receive overruns and
can cut interrupt overheads by a factor of 3 times when compared to
cards with smaller buffers, leading to favourable results in
independent speed tests. The 4-layer board, automated SMT assembly and
custom laser-cut metalwork are indications of the high build quality
demanded by Stuart Tyrrell Developments and partners, and is typical
of Simtec's products for the RISC OS and embedded markets.
NET100 is supplied complete with drivers and includes a BOOTP client.
It costs UKP89 inc delivery and VAT (UKP69 exc) and is available,
along with a range of network cabling, hubs, switches and software
from ourselves and other partners.
