FYI: CDC and Cray's often used HyperChannel adapters; but I suspect have long lost the info on it (very funky SW interface). Plus I doubt I still have the code we developed for it (the HyperChannel was the other side of the Tektronix TCP/IP for VMS implementation we did in the late 1970's). My memory is that we dedicated a PP to talking to NOS, so there was very little OS code. We spliced it into the RJE system and never did much beyond FTP services for it; when I worked on it. I still talk with the guy that did the the PP work for NOS (Stan Smith whom I will ask). The Cray port was done by the NCAR guys working with our CDC and VMS code; but that was after I was involved in the work.
BTW: @ LCC we did some work with DG on their UNIX port; I somehow seem to remember that the Eclipse family used the original AMD ethernet chip set on their network adapter.
