A wee bit of junk related to Ringnet, from the web.
From patent 4,528,661
Guessing this is a discussion of the Primenet ring network as
implemented by PNC boards.
1024 bit data packets
6-14 bit sync packets
variable length sync packets are used to adjust the bit rate
around the ring without a master clock
Modulated NRZI signal
Morten Reistad in c.s.p.:
Or did someone finally make Ringnet software for an Ethernet
controller like the LHC500?
BTW: Ringnet is basically X.25 Layer 3 over a lan, with some
elementary flow control commands to support it.
