100MB Ethernet in IRIX 4? - hbent - 09-16-2020
Is there any support whatsoever for 100MB ethernet in IRIX 4? The Indigo2 can run 4.0.5H (I have it up on a 1MB cache 200MHz R4400, arguably the fastest machine IRIX 4 will run on) but there are no drivers for the Phobos boards. Is FDDI the only realistic option? Were there 100MB VME boards for the Power Series that worked under IRIX 4?

I would think FDDI is probably, if there's any drivers for that version, your only option.

There are FDDI drivers for IRIX 4.0.
100Mb/s ethernet didn't exist back then.
