THOMAS-CONRAD NOW SHIPPING
16/32-BIT MICRO CHANNEL ETHERNET ADAPTERS
Release Date: June 10, 1992 Austin, Texas
Thomas-Conrad is now shipping its new family of TC5046 family of
16/32-bit bus-mastering Micro Channel Ethernet adapters for 10BASE-T and
10BASE-2 networks. The TC5046-T for 10BASE-T networks has a list price of
$449 and includes an RJ-45 and AUI connector. The TC5046-2 for thin Ethernet
networks also lists for $449 and includes a BNC and AUI connector. Both
adapters are also available in money-saving six-packs for $2,529 each. The
TC5046 adapters use a full 32-bits addressing for improved performance on
Ethernet networks when compared to other Micro Channel adapters. Performance
benchmarks are available on request.
The adapters have on-board LEDs to indicate collisions, transmission
and receipt of data, and reverse polarity -- features that help the network
manager isolate and diagnose network problems. The Micro Channel adapters are
software configurable for easy installation and comply with the IEEE 802.3
specification for Ethernet.
According to Loran Frost, product manager for Thomas-Conrad, "The
TC5046 adapters offer superior performance with their bus-mastering design
and full 32-bit driver support for both servers and workstations. These
adapters are ideal for high-performance 32-bit file servers and workstations,
and can also be used in 16-bit Micro Channel machines."
Thomas-Conrad Corporation manufactures and markets innovative products
for token ring, Ethernet, ARCNET and 100Mbps TCNS network technologies.
