ColCount
The TxCOL counter (Bits 6 through F) is incremented whenever the 10BASE-T Receive Pair (RXD+ / RXD-) be-
comes active while a packet is being transmitted. If the TxColOvfiE bit (Register B, BufCFG, Bit C) is set, there is an
interrupt when TxCOL increments from 1FFh to 200h. This interrupt provides the software with an early warning that
the TxCOL counter should be read before it reaches 3FFh and starts over (by interrupting at 200h, the software has
an additional 512 counts before TxCOL actually overflows). The TxCOL counter is cleared when read.

Description
010010: These bits provide an internal address used by the CS89712 to identify this as register
12, the Transmit Collision Counter. When reading this register, these bits will be 010010, where
the LSB corresponds to Bit 0.
ColCount: The upper ten bits contain the number of collisions.
