61for PCI Local Bus
62.It
63Am79c971 PCnet-FAST Single-Chip Full-Duplex 10/100Mbps
64Ethernet Controller for PCI Local Bus
65.It
66Am79c972 PCnet-FAST+ Enhanced 10/100Mbps PCI Ethernet Controller
67with OnNow Support
68.It
69Am79c973/Am79c975 PCnet-FAST III Single-Chip 10/100Mbps PCI
70Ethernet Controller with Integrated PHY
71.El
72.Pp
73PCnet-PCI chips are found on some Hewlett-Packard PCI Ethernet
74boards, and on the Allied Telesyn AT-2700TX PCI Ethernet board.
75They are also found on some processor evaluation boards as an
76example peripheral.
