Pro-tip - if the sanding marks on your chip are this obvious, it has been relabeled.
(This is an NEC V20 chip that I purchased two years ago on eBay. It works, but it's supposed to be a 10Mhz part and given the scratch marks I'm betting it's a 5Mhz part that has been relabeled.)

This is what a real one looks like. The surface is textured under the microscope, but there are no strange scratch marks.

@ltning I found a fun bug in the web server that can lock it up. I'll ping you with fixed code in a few days.
And the stupidity continues. In the last 3.5 hours 11068 unique machines have tried to fetch content from the PCjr, with 11304 requests total. 11160 of those have been invalid URLs.
And it ended shortly after posting that. No wait, now it's back! Whee!
Want to see the world's dumbest scraping operation? They are using a residential proxy to scrape the PCjr again. It is not going well for them.

However, the URLs are all invalid as they are string…
@ipaschke
How did the Mac deal with that? I can't imagine they were allocating large buffers. Is that was JCS observed when he first did this work - they were reusing the buffer space on the host side?
@ipaschke
With what you describe, it's possible that the DaynaPORT could try to send me up to 200 full sized packets per SCSI read. My SCSI layer in DOS (ASPI) lets me set a buffer size, say 16KB. If I read everything and got an underru…
@ipaschke
Most of that lines up with my understanding. The ability to be able to resume a read in polled mode is new but I don't think I ever want to use it - just allocating buffer large enough to take the full Ethernet frame plus the 6 …
It's funny. I thought I was close to finishing an mTCP release. And then I started updating the NetDrive protocol spec to document the changes. It's been 3 or 4 days now of fixing it and fixing code to make it coherent and consistent. And …
And now both chips side-by-side:

mTCP users: I'm starting to get another formal release together. Now would be a great time to send me your bug reports and feature requests.
This release will have a much faster NetDrive, Telnet emulation fixes, DHCP fixes for VirtualBox, …
