Is anyone out there having a problem with IBM PS/2 model 30-286 and attaching it to an ethernet? I've tried a Sytek 4140 card and a NE2000 card with no luck. We are still using Netware 2.0a, could this be the problem? Does anyone have a 30-286 working with a different Ethernet card? I've heard the 30-286 bus is not quite standard, T or F ?

We have it working with Western Digital ethernet boards. Some initial problems were solved after speaking with WD. We actually had to lie to SHGEN about what memory address was being used! (We're using Netware 286 2.15). There is something funny about the machine, to the extent that IBM's original token ring board doesn't work (or doesn't work reliably); for token ring you have to use IBM's second token ring adapter.
