Hello,

in SIMTEL, <msdos.lan> there is the file WDPOST.ARC. I just requested it
since I use WD8003 boards. The file contains a copy of the WD-Drivers,
called 'SUPERDISK' by WD, but Version 1.0. The boards I bougth recently
had version 1.6 with them, so WDPOST is outdated by at least a year and a half.
There are also sources of a driver for the STARLAN version of the WD8003
in WDPOST, this may be of some use for somebody.

Those who do not have Version 1.6 of the WD-Superdisk should try to get
it from their WD-Dealer. It allows now full freedom in configuring the
board for Netware 2.15. This means all combinations of I/O-Address, Memory-Addr.
and Interrupt-Line that the hardware allows is also allowed by the software.
Diagnostics are also enhanced.
