mshiels@tmsoft.uucp (Michael A. Shiels) (03/21/91)
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?
gt@hprnd.rose.hp.com (Glenn Talbott) (04/02/91)
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.

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.
