This register is used by the CPU to control the memory allocation, de-allocation, TX FIFO and RX
FIFO control. The three command bits determine the command issued as described below:

ALLOCATE MEMORY FOR TX - N2,N1,N0 defines the amount of memory requested as
(value + 1) * 256 bytes. Namely N2,N1,N0 = 1 will request 2 * 256 = 512 bytes. A shift-based
divide by 256 of the packet length yields the appropriate value to be used as N2,N1,N0.
Immediately generates a completion code at the ALLOCATION RESULT REGISTER. Can
optionally generate an interrupt on successful completion. N2,N1,N0 are ignored by the
LAN91C100 but should be implemented in the LAN91C100's software drivers for LAN9000
compatibility.
010 2) RESET MMU TO INITIAL STATE - Frees all memory allocations, clears relevant interrupts,
resets packet FIFO pointers.
011 3)
REMOVE FRAME FROM TOP OF RX FIFO - To be issued after CPU has completed
processing of present receive frame. This command removes the receive packet number
from the RX FIFO and brings the next receive frame (if any) to the RX area (output of RX
FIFO).
100 4) REMOVE AND RELEASE TOP OF RX FIFO - Like 3) but also releases all memory used by
the packet presently at the RX FIFO output.
