CS8900 Technical Reference Manual
1.0 Introduction to CS8900 Techni-
cal Reference Manual
This Technical Reference Manual provides
the information which will be helpful in
designing a board using the CS8900, pro-
gramming the associated EEPROM, and
installing and running the CS8900 device
drivers. It is expected that the user of this
technical reference manual will have a gen-
eral knowledge of hardware design, Ether-
net, the ISA bus, and networking software.
Recommended sources of background in-
formation are:
a) ISA System Architecture by Shanley
and Anderson, Mindshare Press, 1992,
ISBN 1-881609-05-7
b) Ethernet, Building a Communication
Infrastructure, by Hegering and Lapple,
Addison-Wesley, 1993, ISBN 0-201-
62405-2
c) Netware Training Guide: Networking
Technologies, by Debra Niedenmiller-
Chaffis, New Riders Publishing, ISBN
1-56205-363-9
As shown in the Figure 1.1, the CS8900
requires a minimum number of external
components. The EEPROM stores configu-
ration information such as interrupt num-
ber, DMA channel, I-O base address, mem-
ory base address, and IEEE Individual Ad-
dress. The EEPROM can be eliminated on
a PC motherboard if that information in
stored in the system CMOS. Note also that
the Boot PROM is only needed for diskless
workstations that boot DOS at system
power up, over the network. Also, the LEDs
are optional.
