Message-ID: <26649@shamash.cdc.com> Date: 4 Oct 90 20:57:16 GMT Organization: Control Data Corporation, Arden Hills, MN. Lines: 19 A while ago I posted a request for any information leading the whereabouts of a driver for a 3C505 16-bit ethernet board from 3COM. In sum: there ain't any. 3COM doesn't supply one, and the board has such strange firmware that Interactive didn't make a driver because the demand wasn't there (many thanks to the Interactive developers who responded). The board works fine in an Apollo, and works fine also in a DOS environment using PC/TCP or PC-NFS. It just isn't going to work at all in ISC 2.2. I'm going to install a Western Digital Ethercard+ 16-bit card instead so that I can use it in both environments.
