CS8900 Technical Reference Manual
The hardware design considerations for
both motherboards and adapter cards are
discussed in Chapter 2.0. The EEPROM
programming considerations are described
in Chapter 3.0.
Crystal provides a complete set of device
drivers, as discussed in Chapter 4.0. The
drivers reside between the networking op-
erating system (NOS) and the CS8900. On
the CS8900 side, the drivers understand
how to program and read the CS8900 con-
trol and status registers, and how to transfer
user data between the CS8900 and the PC
main memory via the ISA bus. On the
NOS side, the drivers provide the standard-
ized services and functions required by the
NOS, and hide all details of the CS8900
hardware from the NOS. The EEPROM
device programs the CS8900 whenever the
a hardware reset occurs, and call also store
state/configuration information for the
driver.
