SMC 1211TX EZCARD vs. EZNET

[Jim McQuillan <jam@McQuil.com>]

SMC now has 2 cards that are labelled as SMC1211TX.

One of them is called the 'EZ Card 10/100' and the other is
called the 'EZNET 10/100'.

We've been using the older EZ Card for quite a while now, with
Etherboot.  It's basically a Realtek 8139 chipset.
It has a 28-pin socket, and I've been using the 27c128 eproms.

The newer EZNET card also has the same chipset, but it has a
32-pin eprom socket.  When I pop the card into a Linux box,
I see that it is using the same PCI Vendor and Product ID's
as the older card.

If you go to the SMC website, and find the newer 'EZNET 10/100'
card, and drill down to the data sheet, it brings up the datasheet
for the older card, so that isn't much help.

I would like to try the same Etherboot driver with it, but
I don't know what type of eprom to buy for it.  It needs
to have 32-pins.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim McQuillan
