We have tried unsuccessfully to install IBM Token Ring cards - both the
IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II (4Mbps, 16K RAM) and the IBM Token Ring
Network 16/4 Adapter (16Mbps or 4Mbps, 8K to 64K RAM) - in Leading Edge Model
D PC's, and each each case they fail the Diagnostics Diskette Initialization
test. I've always assumed that Model D's were fairly representative XT clones.
What other experiences have people had with these boards? Do they work with
other XT clones? We've had no problems with AT's, Compaq 286's, 386's, etc.
