You are lucky to have a Field Engineering Manual. Before your message,
I have never heard HME refer to "Hundred Megabit Ethernet". I suspect,
then, that the engineers referred to the chipset by its internal nickname
and that reference leaked out of Sun, and that "Hundred Megabit" is the
Marketing name (cf. "Comet" and "Scorpio" and other engineering names
for models of VAX CPU that appear in comments in various DCL script files
that ship with the OS).
