Can anybody tell me if Minix will network using 3 Com ethernet boards? Our department is getting a networked microlab with 3Com stuff, so I'd like to play with a Minix network :-) Before I go, I should mention that my friend Callum has started to do some Clam hacking, so expect another Official Clam patch to come out soon, when I get the time. It fixes a few small bugs, and also prevents Clam chewing away on the stack as it is currently doing. Also, I've just knocked up a version of dump(8) & restore(8) for Minix, using floppy disks instead of tapes. It's not in a format compatible with Unix, but it's simple! I'll be posting it soon, too. Cheers all! Warren Toomey.

We have a few machines with the 3Com "IE" board (part number 3C500) and Minix's Amoeba Ethernet driver does NOT work with it. The system panics when booted. -- Glen Overby <ncoverby@plains.nodak.edu> uunet!ndsuvax!ncoverby (UUCP) ncoverby@ndsuvax (Bitnet)
