The ring is intended primarily as a research vehicle to which we would be looking to connect Ethernet and Token-ring LANs. While I am aware that there is at least one FDDI chipset available (from AMD according to the Sept 17 issue of Electronic Design) I am unaware of any board-level implementations and software. I would therefore be grateful if those with knowledge of FDDI-Ethernet, FDDI-Token Ring etc, implementations and software could share that information with me. This naturally includes anyone who has actually designed an FDDI interface based on the AMD (or other?) chipset. Replies should be sent to me, and I will summarise and release to the net.
