EISA SYSTEMS WITH THE RACAL INTERLAN CARD
|
|
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM: The drivers shipped with the RACAL Interlan card, used in the
|
|
AST SE system and sold as an option kit for other EISA
|
|
systems, do not support either PBurst or ODI capability. The
|
|
Burst Mode protocol is a new technology for expediting large
|
|
file reads and writes over wide area network links. The ODI
|
|
protocol allows multiple protocols to link to one card,
|
|
(i.e., IPX and TCP-IP).
|
|
|
|
CAUSE: The advanced PBurst and ODI capabilities of the RACAL card not
|
|
supported by the drivers that were supplied by RACAL and
|
|
originally shipped with AST systems up to 12-18-92.
|
|
|
|
AFFECTED
|
|
SYSTEMS: Any system using a RACAL Interlan adapter AST part number
|
|
500875-001 or 230214-001.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION: Obtain the diskette of drivers released on 12-18-92 using AST
|
|
part number 910462-004 release 1.02 from RACAL.
