Does anybody have experience with building a low-cost ethernet interface for a microprocessor board. I would like to keep the number of components to a minimum, and if possible try to avoid as much analog circuitry as I can. This will probably limit me to AUI connectors (which is fine) or possibly 10BaseT. I would like to build it into part of a home-made 8 bit Motorola 6803 micro board (don't laugh, the chip costs $5). Any recommendations would be appreciated. Please give me an idea of what additional components would be required (ie. can I avoid the analog circuitry, does it support/require additional local RAM for bufferring)? Is there any good articles in electronics magazines that would help? Any other comments?
