Hello all
I am looking for a cheap way to connect a PIC to an ethernet network. I've thus far considered:
- The rabbit-semiconductor offerings, and connect to PIC via serial. (9 for a dev kit, per module).
- ethernut, the built-up kit is 2.
- building an ISA bus master (have not done anything like this before, so I dont know how much effort will go into this, or if it will be worth it), and purchasing ISA ne2k cards.
Has anyone used a PIC to control ISA cards ? is it difficult ? where can I get more info ?
thx in advance,
goose, or maybe i'll just retire next year :-)
