Re: IDing the 905c in software?

[Robert Thompson <robertt@stargate.cs.swau.edu>]

I am more interested in some method of identifying a card, assuming I have
a base address and can do port-io. I just need something that returns
different responses on a byte-mode-programmable 3c905 (ie, 905C). I've
already merged the 905b and 905c prom-programmer utilities, and was trying
to get away from a commandline of  
905prom 0x???? [B|C] action

I need the utility to decide whether the card is a B or a C revision. Most
of the operations are the same, but the B needs some stuff initialized,
and is programmed in 128-byte sectors. The C doesn't need the
initialization and is programmed byte-at-a-time. I have a mix of these in
service, and my automated scripts will not know ahead of time which
machines have which cards.
