I recently have tried to implement the Clarkson packet driver on two different machines at work. The drivers include one for the 3c503 card, but only in shared memory mode. I can't run in shared memory mode!! cuz' of other cards already in the machine. Has any one got a driver for the 3c503 in io--byte mode? Then I tried on another machine with an Ungerman-Bass NIUPc card. There doesn't seem to be a driver for this. I DESPERATELY need NCSA Telnet and ftp on the packet drivers as UB's versions are abhorrently lacking in any features. So, any one got a packet driver for the UB cards? I have over a 100 of these in my building. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think Russ Nelson, the keeper of the Driver Collection, had expressed the intention to implement an Ungerman Bass driver at some point. Maybe he'll reply to the list on how he is coming on that project. -- Denis

Not that I know of. However, the ne1000 is also a 8390-based driver, and
it operates in I/O mode. Perhaps you could bash it and 3c503.asm together
to arrive at a 3c503 I/O based driver?
Then I tried on another machine with an Ungerman-Bass NIUPc card.
There is no such driver that I know of. I've got a PC/NIC (the dumb card)
courtesy of Rutgers, and I'm working on a driver for it. I don't think
that helps you, however.

Doing a Packet Driver for a dumb board isn't too hard, if you can get the specs from U-B. Doing a driver for a smart card is a horse of another color, given that you need code to load onto the card, a host-resident loader of some sort, and possibly an in-circuit-emulator to debug it (3Com's 3C505 is a special case, as it's on-board ROM contains a basic driver). U-B definitely has a loader, and might have a link-layer load module (as opposed to their board-resident TCP). I can't say whether they would release them into the public domain... James B.

And maybe I won't. :-)
But seriously, I've implemented a NIC/PC, not a NIU/PC driver.

We won the cold war. The Russians spent trillions defending their stuff,
then they found that they didn't have any stuff. Will we avoid the same trap?
