## Description
2023-07-08 19:33:10 +00:00
BMac aka BigMac is an Ethernet media access controller cell integrated in the
Heathrow and Paddington I/O controllers.
According to a former Apple employee, BMac has been licensed from Sun.
It's therefore not surprising that it has a lot in common with the Sun
"Happy Meal" (HME) controller.

### BMac based Ethernet HW
There are three BMac based HW configurations:
* BMac in a Heathrow I/O + LXT907 PHY used in Power Macintosh G3 (Old World)
* BMac+ in a Paddington I/O + LXT970 aka ST10040 PHY in Power Macintosh Blue & White (New World)
* BMac+ in a Paddington I/O + DP83843 PHY in a Bronze Keyboard PowerBook G3
## Documentation
No official documentation has surfaced so far. Fortunately, the official source
code as well as the STP2002 datasheet provide enough information on the BMac device.
