Arranged in the order in which the support became available:

Univation Inc. of Milpitas, CA sells an Ethernet board (model NC-516) for
the PC and AT, and a software driver with it.  They support co-existence
between TCP/IP and Novell Netware or Lifenet.

Schneider & Koch GmBh, of Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany, has a
board for the PC and AT, and provides the Packet Driver interface as part
of their version of Novell netware.  It is likely to run on any other
Ethernet boards they offer, also.

MICOM-Interlan, of Westborough, MA, provides a version of Novell Netware
which supports the Packet Driver spec.  It runs on at least their NI5210
board, and maybe others.

Spider Systems Ltd. of Edinburgh, U.K., will soon support it on their
SpiderMonitor network monitor product (as an add-on that allows the
network monitor to be used as a workstation).

I know of two others under development in the U.S., one running, one still
debugging.

In addition, Sytek offers products which are quite close to the Packet
Driver spec.  I'll check with them to see what (if anything) they changed...
