- if you are interested in arcnet for an embedded system, check out the
- SMC 20020, which is an arcnet controller with on-board ram. The data
- sheet claims "With only one COM20020 and one microcontroller, a complete
- ARCNET node may be implemented".
-
- Also, if I were you, I would check out RS-485. Not very fast, but
- dirt cheap.
