[parisc-linux] 712/80 ext. network card

Hi,

I have a HP 712/80 workstation with PARISC-Linux and it works flawlessly
(2.4.18) - good job.
I would like to use it as a router/fw, ergo I need to plugin another
network card. Could you, please, tell me what network cards for the
extension slot are supported by the PARISC-Linux and maybe where I can
get one? I know, it's all a bit old stuff ;) so it's not easy to get I
suppose..

Thanks for any help,
Simon

PS: Please CC any response to my e-mail since I'm not on the list.

Hi Simon,

last time I tested a normal PC network card (ISA NE2000 clone) worked.

Greetings,
Helge

There's no ISA slot in the 712. There was a special interface card 
(A4014A) that added a second network port and a second serial port. It 
is documented in this manual:

   http://www.hp.com/workstations/support/archive/manuals/A2615-90602.pdf

Good luck trying to find one. The only time I saw these adapters was 
when the 712 was used as the console to V-class servers. The B-class 
(with PCI & GSC slots) soon replaced the 712 for this solution.

I wanted to do the same with one of my 712's, but have not been able to 
find one of these adapters. :-(

Isn't there an EISA slot ?
At least in my 715 there is one and there I tested the ISA card...
