Does anyone out there know the details of compatibility problems between AT clones and IBM's PC/AT token ring cards? I've heard that this card doesn't work in some clones because it requires a couple of wait states but doesn't implement the bus interface properly. Are there any clones that are known to work with the IBM TR cards? Chris Maio chris@columbia.edu columbia!chris

I'd like to see the list (the store was closed the last time I was in Pittsburgh). Could someone from CMU please post the list, if it's not much trouble.

I've heard that this card doesn't I know that they work in Compaq's, Zenith, and also in a "no-name" clone that we had (We got rid of it for other reasons). I'd think if you set the switches on the card to reflect the proper interrupt vectors that you should be ok (granted, this doesn't cover every SINGLE clone!). -- Gary L.
