I don't understand the reference to "small" ROM space; the system supports
up to 4MB (or 8MB) RAM and > 300MB HD; not bad for a circa-1985 10MHz 68010.

In any event, the AT&T 7300 is also known as the 3B1, and questions such as
this are best directed to comp.sys.3b1 where you'll get a LOT of help!  :-)

Ethernet exists for the 3B1 (I have many connected on my net) as does StarLAN.
The Ethernet is the WIN/3B TCP/IP 802.3a-1988 10BASE2 10Mbit/S, and the
StarLAN is 802.3e-1988 1BASE5 1Mbit/S over twisted-pair.

Several people, myself included, have ported portions of the 4.3BSD "Tahoe"
networking software suite to the 3B1/7300 and some of this can be found at
osu-cis (aka cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu [IP 128.146.8.62]) and (soon) in the
comp.sources.3b1 newsgroup.

I also have copies of the 3B1/7300 Device Driver Development Guide (from AT&T)
available at cost for anyone interested; either send email (see sig below) or
browse the comp.sys.3b1 newsgroup.
