Nubus video cards

FTR, I have just committed support for four more Nubus video
cards:

Formac ProNitron 80.IVb (1024x768 / 8 bit)
Relax 19" Model 200 (1024x768 / 8 bit)
Apple Monochrome Video Card (640x480 / 1 bit)
VillageTronic Mac Picasso 340 (up to 1920x1080 / up to 24
bit)

What a good news!
I probably have VillageTronic Mac Picasso 340 (and 320)
somewhere
in my garage. I'm ~rocked~, too. 

Thanks a lot,

These are especially nice, because they use all screen
estate on a TFT
without scaling. Not too many TFTs with 1152x870 were
built... Support for
older Macintosh system versions seems flaky, though - I
didn't get beyond
1024x768 on the VGA port with System 7.1. And the built-in
acceleration has
driver support for PowerMacs, only.

The card that I have here is a MacPicasso 340, I mistyped
that in the
commit message. They used to appear regularly on ebay.de for
some time;
unfortunately, I neglected to pick up a second one, and none
have shown up
for months.

There is a slight possibility that the '320 has a different
Nubus
identifier, and therefore does not get recognized by the
kernel. In that
case, please find the relevant sResource line with Slots
<htt
p://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/howto/video.html> and mail
it to me.

Now if only there was support for Farallon Fast EtherTX I'd
be a very 
happy man!    100 Mb
would probably overwhelm my Quadra anyway.

It will stay unsupported so long as you ignore the
directions that you
have been given on providing us with more information about
the card.

Last weekend, I went through every corner of my garage
(storehouse),
but I couldn't find it out. There are so many junk 68k
stuff, just
a "graveyard" of Apple & Macintosh... ;). 
Sorry, later again.


I found 2 of 10/100 Mb NuBus NIC, "Farallon Fast
EtherTX" (Maybe,
I can't see Products Number on it.) and
"AsanteFast".

AsanteFast works with GENERIC kernel, but it's transfer
speed is
same as Quadra. I have no info about 100 Mb driver for
NetBSD.
This Farallon NIC has no driver FD, it doesn't work even on
MacOS.
Unfortunately, Farallon's website has closed already. p

Thanks,
Kazu Inanaga

Look at the ethernet chip. It may be a standard chip that
already has  
a driver. If you look at the existing driver there might be
an  
interesting value you can look for in the card's address
space. Once  
you know the base address in the card's address space it may
not be  
too hard to port the driver.

Thanks for your advice!

Main chip is "smsc FEAST(TM) FD LAN91C100FDQFP
B9904-B467AIC  
6H111735-6".
How can I look at the driver?  With "MacsBug" like
Video ?
"Delving for Video Interrupt Information"
http://
www.macbsd.com/macbsd/howto/video.html

Could you give me a suggestion?
    I'm not a new but still a novice, please. ;)

Ok, this is supported by the sm(4) driver. The NuBus
attachment stub
for it is in sys/arch/mac68k/nubus/if_sm_nubus.c.

You only need to follow the "Identifying your
card" section on that page.

The difference between the two cards already supported by
the NuBus sm(4)
driver is the offset of the EEPROM containing the Ethernet
MAC address.

You could have a look for it using MacsBug.
