[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] HELP!! I need some help with my 3c505 board!!

samson@susie.cs.scarolina.edu (Kenneth Samson) (10/26/90)

Do anyone know anything about 3COM 3c505 ethernet boards??  The BBS I am in 
charge of currently recieved an old 3c505 from the CS department.  The BBS 
is on a PC 286 6/10mHz machince.  I tried using the 3c505 packet driver at
<sun.soe.clarkson.edu>:pub but I keep getting the following message:

> Packet Driver for 3c505, version 7.
> Portions copyright 1989, Krishnan Gopalan & Gregg Stefancik.
> Clemson University Engineering Comp Ops.
> Packet driver skeleton copyright 1988-90, Russell Nelson.
> This program is free software; see the file COPYING for details.
> NO WARRANTY; see the file COPYING for details.
>
>
> Packet driver loaded at segment 2CCA
>
> *** Packet driver failed to initialize the board ***

The board has no documents and the drivers documents are not very clear.  Any 
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
   Ken Samson
