Sorry, the design is now fixed. 100Mbit ethernet isn't really possible for a few reasons:
- Bus bandwidth. Though there are one or two chips which do 100mbit on an ISA bus (the SA1100 has a fast ISA bus - faster than standard ISA, but not PCI).
- Space. The chips that do hook up to our bus require external RAM (etc) for 100mbit. There really is no room.
- Approvals. 100mbit is a major headache as far as emissions is concerned. Yes, we could do several board revisions and try and optimise this, but for an option which isn't even going to be shipped on the majority of players, it's not worth the expense.
10mbit is pretty quick - I think we were getting >700kb/sec. Remember the drives don't have DMA, so disk rates are limited (2mb/sec-ish). 100mbit would just saturate the bus. Remember this isn't a server PC, it's a car radio :)
