The LAN83C175 has several features designed
to maximize throughput and minimize CPU
utilization,
Lookahead Buffering Mode, which eliminates the
need to re-copy the data from one host memory
location to another.
The LAN83C175 also includes a secondary
general purpose 8-bit interface with appropriate
registers, address lines and control lines. This
