Boooooooo!!! I love those tulip chipsets...low CPU use,
ultra-reliable and well-supported by linux.
Is there's ones still in production or what is another equally GOOD
one that replaces tulip based NICs?
They BOUGHT it...BOUGHT != KILLED. Now Tulip chips have Intel logos
on them. At least I'm pretty sure I've seen some...it may have been a
nightmare or something. ;)
Sure: you can at least get 21143 chips from Intel
(we use them)
What Intel got from DEC was a FAB, and in some manner
the StrongARM
processor (I never have understood this one).
And the Tulip chips, and the PCI bridges, and all the other cool DEC
chips that we've been using for years...
