The TCP32 and NFS32 products do in fact work with the SBC 552A board in
a MultiBus I systems as well as the SBC 186/530 in a MultiBus II system.
Each requires that the system be running UNIX V/386 R3.2.2. The transport
software that is downloaded to these boards at boot time
allows the TCP stack to access an exposed data link on the communications
board. This is a new feature, and was not supported previous to the last
release of iNA960 transport service provider.
