looking for SMC 3008TP programmer or tech reference

I'm a closet hacker re-living some of my youth when I spent way too much
time with a PCjr (hey, that's what my Dad bought!).

I've crafted a PCjr bus adapter that allows me to plug in standard 8-bit ISA
expansion cards to my PCjr. I have a 3-slot backplane. The first card that
I've plugged in is an IBM XT Fixed Disk Adapter (MFM controller) that allows
my PCjr to bot and run off of a hard disk. Now I'm turning to ethernet.

I have an old 8-bit ISA twisted pair ethernet card - the SMC 3008TP.
Unfortunately, the SMC supplied packet driver does not load. It exits with
a "return code 3", and I have no further information.

I saw somewhere on the internet that the 3008TP is similar to the Tiara card
(both based on the Fujistsu MB86950 ethernet controller chip). I tried the
Tiara packet driver from Crynwr and it worked!

Sort of. I think. I'm using WatTCP applications to get out over the net.
ping works no problem. htget (a HTTP requester) seems to work okay. My
experience with a telnet client is mixed. The ftp client doesn't work
(although that could be a PCjr compatibility problem).

I'm really trying to get telnet working first. The problem is that the
characters sent from my computer are slow to come back and be updated on my
screen. It's choppy, kind of like the data is fragmented or there's
something funny with the card/driver buffering.

I'm not sure if the problem is in my use of the Tiara packet driver, or, if
it's in these WatTCP applications. I'd like to eliminate any uncertainty
with the driver.

I've got all of the Tiara driver assembler files for the packet driver from
Crynwr, but I would need an SMC 3008 programmer's manual to confirm the
driver code.

I've written SMC for a programmers reference, but thought it would be a good
idea to throw a note out here. Does anyone out here have this kind of
technical information?

Thanks, Matt
