[comp.sys.apollo] 3rd party ethernet boards

Someone here bought a 3Com505 for installation in a DN4000 running
10.3 Will the 505 work without the Apollo PROM? The Q-and-A files
says yes, but I wonder whether this is still correct at 10.3.
Thanks, Peter

Yes it will !! - We are currently using 3 such cards under 10.3 with
no deleterious (does sendmail have a spell-checker ??) side effects.
