National Semiconductor is producing FDDI chipsets and
NSC is selling FDDI demo boards to demonstrate NSC's FDDI solution.
I think that the NSC FDDI demo set comes with the Evaluation FDDI
cards, SMT software, TCP/IP software and also the documentation (plus
the circuit for developers).  I don't know if NSC sells the FDDI cards
to end user, but give the NSC sales rep a call.  

Also, the NSC FDDI cards runs on PC/AT platform.  I saw and used those
FDDI cards with SMT and TCP/IP softwware installed.  I was running
X-Window software on it and the combination works very well.
