Greetings,

I've got PC-NFS version 3.5 up and running on two 386 machines using the
Racal-Interlan NI5210 8-bit board.  These two machines have CGA graphics
adapters, and are running DOS 4.01.

I'm using the drivers from Racal's BBS.  I think they are version 1.01.
Everything is working fine.

I tried to duplicate the installation on a Nortgate 386 (with AMI BIOS)
with a 16-bit VGA adaptor, and the machine locks up at the NET START
command.  

I', assuming that the software is defaulting to C000 for shared memory, and
I'm pretty sure that the VGA is using that space as well.  I've tried to
specify other locations, but it doesn't seem to take, and I've received no
documentation regarding other memory locations for that board.  Any ideas?

Option two would be to use the NDIS drivers.  I have also downloaded these
from the Racal BBS, but I can't figure out the protocol.ini file.  Does
anyone have a working setup with a similar configuration that I could look
at?

Is there a repository of FTP'able information around?

Thanks

John
