Phil's design already uses the Master econet module, at least as far as my
limited understanding of the design goes, and the CS8900A Ethernet chip is
basically a whole ethernet card on a chip, and at that price, there isn't
much point in messing about with some adapter cards, that *everyone*
implementing it would have to get hold of, now and in the future. Plus, for
the cost of the ISA/PCI connector, you might as well just buy the chip.
