EEPROM MAP
The automatic EEPROM read operation will access 18
words (i.e. 36 bytes) of the EEPROM. The format of the
Note that the first bit out of any word location in the
EEPROM is treated as the MSB of the register that is be-
ing programmed. For example, the first bit out of
EEPROM word location 08h will be written into BCR4,
bit 15, the second bit out of EEPROM word location 08h
will be written into BCR4, bit 14, etc.
There are two checksum locations within the EEPROM.
The first checksum will be used by AMD driver software
to verify that the ISO 8802-3 (IEEE/ANSI 802.3) station
address has not been corrupted. The value of bytes 0Ch
and 0Dh should match the sum of bytes 00h through
0Bh and 0Eh and 0Fh. The second checksum location
— byte 21h — is not a checksum total, but is, instead, a
checksum adjustment. The value of this byte should be
such that the total checksum for the entire 36 bytes of
EEPROM data equals the value FFh. The checksum

LED Support
The PCnet-PCI II controller can support up to four LEDs.
LED outputs LNKST, LED1 and LED2 allow for direct
connection of an LED and its supporting pullup device.
LED output LED3 may require an additional buffer
between the PCnet-PCI II controller output pin and the
LED and its supporting pullup device.
Because the LED3 output is multiplexed with other
PCnet-PCI II controller functions, it may not always be
possible to connect an LED circuit directly to the LED3
pin. In applications that want to use the pin to drive an
