DATA SHEET REVISION SUMMARY
The following list represents the key differences be-
tween revision B (May 1994) and revision C (June
1994).
Global Change
DWIO mode cannot be set by reading the EEPROM or
writing directly to BCR18.
The Initialization Block must be on a double-word
boundary.
Detailed Functions
Page 1-888:
The section on PCnet-PCI controller I/O Resource Map-
ping is rewritten to reflect changes in methods of setting
DWIO mode.

The description for Initialization Block boundary require-
ment is rewritten for clarity.

The description for bit 8 (SSIZE32) is rewritten for
clarity.

BCR18
The description for bit 7 (DWIO) is rewritten for clarity.
The following list represents the key differences be-
tween revision A (October 1993) and revision B (April
1994).

The description for bit 8 (SSIZE32) is rewritten for
clarity.
Global Change
Look-Ahead Packet Processing (LAPP)is the name for
the early protocol analysis.

The
LOCK
pin is changed from bidirectional to unidirec-
tional. It is now an input only. The EESK/
LED1
pin is now
changed to bidirectional for typographical correction.
Connection Diagram
Page 1-877:
Various pin names have been changed for either en-
hanced clarity or to correct typographical errors.
The pins that are affected are 9, 58, 91, 94, 96, 97, 98,
100, 103, 108, 116, and 127.

Various pin names have been changed for either en-
hanced clarity or to correct typographical errors.
The pins that are affected are 9, 58, 91, 94, 96, 97, 98,
100, 103, 108, 116, and 127.
Page 1-880:
The
LOCK
pin is changed from an I/O to an input. No
driver type is available.
Page 1-881:
The I
OH
value for TS3 and TS6 are now –2. Driver type
O6 is removed. Driver type O8 is added.
Pin Description
Page 1-882:
Pin descriptions for various pins were rewritten for clar-
ity. The pins are
GNT
,
LOCK
, and
PERR
.

Table 8
EEPROM Contents—Corrected the Hardware ID (byte
address 09h) value to 11h.

CSR3
The bit name for bit 5 is changed to LAPPEN (Look-
Ahead Packet Processing ENable).
Page 1-958:
CSR4
The bit name for bit 9 is changed to MFCO (Missed
Frame Counter Overflow), and the bit name for bit 8 is
changed to MFCOM (Missed Frame Counter Overflow
Mask).

CSR80—The description for bits 9–8 is rewritten for
clarity.
Page 1-974:
CSR89—The upper 12 bits of the PCnet–PCI controller
part number contained in bits 11–0 are corrected. The
12 bits now read 0010 0100 0011b.
CSR90—The description for this register is removed,
because it is now a reserved register.

CSR124—The description for bit 3 is rewritten for
clarity.
