a RAM-based state machine linked to a couple of ehternet encoder/decoder
ICs, and a Z80-based microconttoller system to load the state machine RAM.
I have something which appears to do the same job - link two AUI ports
together - it's larger than 2 transceivers, but I don't think it's
quite as complex inside - I thought it was just some clocking and some
signal buffering. I'll have to crack one open and see what's inside.
