Here is the latest "blank" card for it's last round of suggestions before I
start to ask users/manufacturers to fillin all the blanks for the cards.

How do people feel about adding Manufacturers List price to the ethernet score card? I don't want this document to be restricted in distribution by people who might mistake it for a huge marketing blurb. I need some insight from anyone who might know if it would be restricted in distribution if it had lots of prices etc in it. I was just going to have addresses/phone numbers and if you are serious you call the manufacturer. As an aside I have been trying to get intouch with the old PCIP scorecard maintainer but I have had no luck so far. Would people like to see that updated as well. Maybe there will be 3 scorecards. PC/AT Ethernet card PC/AT DOS TCP/IP AT OS/2 TCP/IP
mshiels@tmsoft.uucp (Michael A. Shiels) (02/11/91)
Over the next couple of days I will be posting "blanks" which I would like
to see if people can fillin. Preferences would be for the vendors to respond
with a filled in card, but users filling in the blanks from manuals will
also suffice. If you know of other manufacturers/card model numbers please
send them in as well.
How do people feel about including prices? Would this be contrary to what
a scorecard is for?
Very soon there should be some more details for some of the cards available.
I have a Packet driver and a NDIS driver tester which will give maximum packets
per second transmitting & receiving (I still have to find something which can
generate piles of transactions, IE fastest transmitting card out there)
Here is a list of the manufacturers/model numbers I have ready to be filled
in.

Here is a sample and how it should be layed out. If people want to save
themselves extra typing they can send me a list of the cards they can fillin
the blanks for and I will then keep a list of people for each card so that
we don't end up with 10 people typing in the same one. Thanx.
Hopefully we can get all the cards (or a majority of the popular ones) filled
in and then the completed ones posted to usenet.

Include all the known offices for the manufacturer including international
offices. 1-800 numbers are also great to include. Internet contact names
would be great to include but I think that gives companies on the internet
an unfair advantage.
BRYAN@WVNVM.WVNET.EDU (Jerry Bryan) (02/12/91)
On 02/10/91 at 17:32:24 pcip-request@UDEL.EDU said: >How do people feel about including prices? Would this be contrary to what >a scorecard is for? Price is technical information. It should therefore be included in any technical product summary. "Including prices" is not the same thing as "a vendor making a sales pitch".
mshiels@tmsoft.uucp (Michael A. Shiels) (02/17/91)
I havn't gotten any submissions from any manufacturers/users yet but here
is a starting point so people can see what we can end up with. This card
has entries for the NI6510 and NI6510-10BT and NI6510-UTP. Once I have
verified that they are all the same card with just different drivers the
duplicated lines will be removed to save space.
Maybe rather than filling in blank cards people should just send me the
details listed out and I will fit all the details together into these
layouts. They way I can add new columns as need be.

Here is a preliminary scorecard for the WesternDigital line of ethernet
cards. There has been lots of response for people wanting copies of the
scorecard but I have had only 2 pieces of information mailed in. If this
scorecard is to succeed I will need some more input from the people who
have cards.
PC/AT Ethernet Card Scorecard (Western-Digital)
-----------------------------
. means the card does not have the attribute
X means the card has the attribute
? means not verified one way or the other
ECP means EtherCard Plus
SCP means StarCard Plus
SLP means StarLink Plus
All WD cards have a software programmable interface RAM address
