Macunix Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have a DaynaPORT Bluestreak 10/100 Nubus ethernet card in my Quadra 700, but I don't have the drivers. None of the classic DaynaPORT drivers are working and while all lights on the card show it is working, without the correct drivers I can't assign an IP address to the card. Does anyone have a copy of these drivers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MacDoctorFL Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I don't know if it will help. Maybe find a driver based on which DECchip your bluestreak uses. .Em DECchip 21041 -- This is the second chip in the Tulip family, dubbed .Dq Tulip Plus . It supports 10Mb/s speeds over a built-in serial interface. The serial interface has support for 10BASE-T, 10BASE5 AUI, and 10BASE2 BNC media. The serial interface also includes support for IEEE 802.3u NWay over the 10BASE-T interface, for negotiation of duplex mode with the link partner. .Pp Boards that include this chip include the DEC DE-450 and some SMC boards. .It .Em DECchip 21140 and 21140A -- This is the third chip in the Tulip family, dubbed .Dq FasterNet . It supports 10Mb/s speeds with a built-in 10BASE-T encoder/decoder, and 100Mb/s speeds with a built-in 100BASE PCS function. Support for 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-T4 is provided by a built-in scrambler. Support for 100BASE-FX is possible with an appropriate PMD connected to the 100BASE PCS. The 21140 and 21140A also support 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s speeds over an MII interface connected to one or more PHYs. .Pp The 21140 and 21140A include a general purpose I/O facility, which may be used to toggle relays on the board. This facility is often used to reset individual board modules (e.g. the MII bus), select the output path of the chip (e.g. connect the UTP port on the board to the PHY, built-in 10BASE-T ENDEC, or built-in 100BASE-T PMD), or detect link status (by reading an output pin on the 100BASE-T magnetics). .Pp The 21140 and 21140A use a standardized data structure located in the SROM to describe how the chip should be programmed for various media settings, including the internal chip pathway, and GPIO settings. If the SROM data is not in the standardized format, the device driver must know specific programming information for that particular board. .Pp Boards that include the 21140 and 21140A include the DEC EB140, DE-500XA, DE-500AA, Asante EtherFast, DaynaPORT BlueStreak, Cogent EM100TX, EM110TX, EM440T4 multi-port, Kingston KNE100TX, older versions of the NetGear FA-310TX, SMC 9332, SMC 9334, ZNYX ZX34x multi-port, and Adaptec ANA-6944A/TX multi-port.

Macunix Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 The card uses an SMC Feast 91C100 chip. I will look for similar drivers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethezombie Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Intel purchased DaynaPORT and for a short while, you could get Macintosh Nubus drivers from off the Intel driver downloads area. I did a wayback search of the Intel site during about 2008, and DaynaPort is listed, but clicking gives the 302. Not sure if there are any mirrors of Intel download area. Best of luck!

Macunix Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 The now-defunct Intel site lists the following file that I assume is the driver I need (fst_en17.hqx) in the Dayna directory. I have also found reference to this file - DaynaFastEnet_1.7.sit. Links to both files I have found don't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MacDoctorFL Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 According to a NETbsd website https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-7.0.2/mac68k/INSTALL.html the FEAST chip is used in Asante fast 10/100 cards. Could those drivers work?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Macunix Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I tried the AsanteFAST drivers and those did not recognize the DaynaFast nubus card. I have an AsanteFAST card as well and that was recognized by the drivers. I can't see the chip on the Asante card as it has a heatsink attached. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ppuskari Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I know it's 2 years later, but in the process of rebuilding my Avid Media Processor rig, I needed these drivers for my own Bluestreak Nubus card. I found them in my own archive. The floppy is here somewhere but not located with it's box which I also have. Hopefully this helps someone. I'll make them available on the Facebook Mac groups that I'm in, as well as send to Archive.org too. DaynaPORT BlueStreak.img Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More drivers. Might be worth sticking them on Macintosh Garden as well, if you have time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
