PSTART: 
Page Start Register (01H; Type=W in Page0, Type=R in Page 2) 
The Page Start register sets the start page address of the receive buffer ring. 
PSTOP: 
Page Stop Register (02H; Type=W in Page0, Type=R in Page2) 
The Page Stop register sets the stop page address of the receive buffer ring. In 8 bit 
mode the PSTOP register should not exceed to 0x60, in 16 bit mode the PSTOP 
register should not exceed to 0x80. 
BNRY: 
Boundary Register (03H; Type=R/W in Page0) 
This register is used to prevent overwrite of the receive buffer ring. It is typically  
used
as a pointer indicating the last receive buffer page the host has read. 
TPSR:
Transmit Page Start Register (04H; Type=W in Page0) 
This register sets the start page address of the packet to the transmitted. 
TBCR0,1:
 Transmit Byte Count Registers (05H & 06H; Type=W in Page0) 
These two registers set the byte counts of the packet to be transmitted. 
NCR:
Number of Collisions Register (05H; Type=R in Page0) 
The register records the number of collisions a node experiences during a packet 
transmission. 
FIFO: 
First In First Out Register (06H; Type=R in Page0) 
This register allows the host to examine the contents of the FIFO after loopback. 
CRDA0, 1: 
Current Remote DMA Address registers (08H & 09H; Type=R in Page0) 
These two registers contain the current address of remote DMA. 
RSAR0,1:
 Remote Start Address Registers (08H & 09H; Type=W in Page0) 
These two registers set the start address of remote DMA. 
RBCR0,1:
 Remote Byte Count Registers (0AH & 0BH; Type=W in Page0) 
These two registers se the data byte counts of remote DMA. 
CNTR0: 
Frame Alignment Error Tally Counter Register (0DH; Type=R in Page0) 
CNTR1: 
CRC Error Tally Counter Register (0EH; Type=R in Page0) 
CNTR2: 
Missed Packet Tally Counter Register (0FH; Type=R in Page0) 
PAR0-5:
Physical Address Registers (01H - 06H; Type=R/W in Page1) 
These registers contain my Ethernet node address and are used to compare the 
destination adderss of incoming packets for acceptation or rejection. 
CURR:
Current Page Register (07H; Type=R/W  in Page1) 
This register points to the page address of the first receive buffer page to be used for 
a packet reception.
