According to the PC-NFS manual (3.1 or whatever is current) the
UB NIU board is supported with "special software" available from
Ungermann-Bass.
According to Ungermann-Bass they have a product called "NDIS" (~$50)
that loads into the NIU card and sort-of turns it into a NIC board.
But, while it's "sort-of" like a NIC board, you can't just install
PC-NFS for the NIC. UB says I need to get some "special driver" from
SUN to use NDIS, PC-NFS and the NIC. And, this is the best part,...
they've never tested it!! But, says UB, "it probably works" because
they wrote it to SUN's specs.
Anyway does anyone out there know what's really going on. Geoff??
