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.

Here is the CMU list, as it stands today. Sorry for the delay, I have been
off the group for a while....
Camp 3/25/88
The machines that we have experience with that WORK with IBM Token Ring
Type PC/XT/AT Tested By Comments
Compaq 386 AT-Clone GSIA
NCR PC8 AT-clone GSIA
Compaq Deskpro 286 AT-Clone GSIA
Epson Equity II XT-Clone GSIA
Leading Edge Model D XT-Clone GSIA Clock interrupt was in conflict
disable clock or set alternate
TRN interrupt.
Mirage XT-Clone Data Set to Inter. Level 3, the PC
seemed to function fine.
ARC (model 10 Turbo) XT-Clone Data When working with clones with
a faster clock speed, keep in
mind that each IBM TR card is
ARC (model X Turbo) XT-clone Data different. Try a few cards
until one works.
AT&T XT-Clone Data
P.C. Design GV286 AT-clone Data Works at 6mHz, but not at
12mHz.
Maxum 286 Turbo AT-clone Data Works at 6mHz, but not in
Turbo mode.
Sperry IT AT-clone Data Works at 6 and 8mHz,
but not at 7.1mHz.
Clone P.C.'s that DO NOT WORK with IBM Token Ring
Type PC/XT/AT Tested By Comments
Kaypro PC10 XT-Clone GSIA
Panasonic Executive XT-Clone GSIA Even using a expansion box that
Partner Portable allows IBM cards, we have not
been able to get it to work.
Tandy 1000 PC-Clone Data
Turbo M PC-Clone Data
Samsung 3001 w/ AT-clone Data
SMT motherboard
Fountain AT-Clone Data
Note: In most cases IBM PC DOS must be used in place of the DOS supplied
by the computer manufacturer.
