I am about to fold this project up since I seem to be the only person inetersted in taking a little time to type in the technical specs on some of the cards I have around. I have had LOTS and LOTS of requests for copies of the scorecard but alas have only had 1 or 2 submissions. If I don't seem some more this scorecard will go the way of the PC TCP/IP scorecard which seems to have died. Maybe that's an easier one for me to get updated?

Well, I have tried several times to contact Michael by E-mail to submit a scorecard, but my messages seem to be going into a black hole. Since I can't seem to get to him, I will just post the scorecard here. Here is the official (blessed by HP management) scorecard for all current HP PC Lan cards.

These sources are under the GNU General Public License, which simply means the software is free to all to use or include in products or re-sell as they like, however the copyrights must be included and the SOURCES MUST BE AVAILABLE free for the asking. Clarkson Availability: The Clarkson collection of packet drivers is available by FTP, by archive-server, and by modem. They come in two flavors -- executables only (drivers.zip), and source+executables (driverss.zip). All of the following instructions apply to both drivers.zip and driverss.zip. Clarkson Mail: I distribute the packet drivers on two 360K 5.25" disks, or a 720K 3.5" disk. I charge a fee for the service of copying and mailing these disks. You can send me a check for $20, or you can send me a purchse order and I will bill you for $22. NY residents add 7% sales tax, overseas orders add $3 for shipping. If you send a check, please be sure it is in US dollars -- the bank charges me $15 to convert checks drawn in foreign currencies.
