Greetings!
I have Novell Netware (ver 2.1), an ethernet thin cable system and
(here comes the punch line) three types of ether link boards that
are not listed with supported drivers by Novell. (Well, at least
not that we can find anywhere yet.)
So, does anyone know where I can find work station and file server
drivers for the following boards?
Micom NI5210
Western Digital Etherlink Card
3COM 3C501
We are getting various stories (each time we call) and would like to
move forward. Please respond to me at:
dangc@cunyvm.bitnet
If there is success, I will post. Thanks in advance.

I would contact the manufacturer for both it and the Western Digital card. The 3com card was not supported under Novell until quite recently. I believe Novell and 3com worked out thier differences and drivers should now be available from 3com or Novell. One number I have found to be valuble is 1-800-555-1212. This will give you directory information for all the 800 numbers. -- -----Jerry Fountain----- UUCP: {hplabs!hp-sdd,sdcsvax,nosc}!crash!pnet01!gof ARPA: crash!gof@nosc.mil MAIL: 523 Glen Oaks Dr., Alpine, Calif. 92001 INET: gof@pnet01.CTS.COM

However you should be able to get 5210 drivers from Novell, as we have had it certfied by them (to the tune of $2500)! Larry Backman As an aside; what does Novell certification buy you? Not much; it gaurentees that a board will run on a 6 workstation network, with only that board in the file server. Novell certification does not include mix and match interoperabilty testing. Be warned!!
