I am a little bit confused. Why isn't it possible to achieve maximum
speed declared for the chip namely 5Mbit/sec @ 20MHz PCLK assuming
you are using today's generation PC (something like PII-400) that
should swollow level of interrupts generated by the card easily ??
If for some reason this wouldn't work, would it be better to switch to
newer chips e.g. AMD's Am79C930 that should do 2MBit/sec and do all
the radio transciever control by itself (providing you have done some
programming for it's 80186 core) or some other new generation chip
whose existance I am not aware right now that supports even higher speeds ???
If I try to make a conclusion at this moment I would say that it would
be best to make somekind of black box with 10MBit ethernet on one side
and radio pins (TxD,RxD,DCD,PTT) on other. The box should do some
buffering to syncronize speeds if radio part is slower. I guess it doesn't
even have to understand the protocol to select portions of traffic that is
destined for radio network as you can always add one cheap
ethernet card into PC and do the routing so that local traffic doesn't
reach radio.
Any comments ??
Ivo.
