[tulip] Tulip chips

[Stephen S M Wong]

Dear Tulipers,

1) What is the latest tulip chip? (21143?)

2) Is Intel now the owner of the tulip chip?  Do you know if there is
any new development on the tulip series (say a GE chip)?

3) Are there any multiport (2 to 4) tulip cards available in the
market?  What will be your next recommendation other than tulip chip
(for multiport 100TX card)?

4) I find some surplus original Digital Equipment Corporation 21143
cards in local market, the price is very cheap (US$18), is it a good
alternative to say 3Com 3c905C, or Intel 82559?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Stephen Wong.
