TNS-NET 900
Parts of this topic may be machine translated.
Network for TNS HC-16, TNS XT and TNS AT, successor to TNS-NET. According to English terminology, it will most likely be a plagiarism of some Western product.
Hardware development for TNS-NET 900 and ZNET cards (FELAN) took place at Tesla Elstroj.
Tree topology, coaxial cable 50 Ohm max 500m, CSMA/CD, speed 900kbit/s, Manchester coding, total max. 32 nodes.
For the TNS-AT, there was a TNS-LAN-AT card using the Intel P8274 (Multi-protocol serial controller, implementing SDLC), just like the "network card" in the TNS HC-16.
