Has anyone been abe to get the Token Ring packet driver
to work on a non-microchannel machine? I have no problem
getting it to work on a PS/2 50z, but it just hangs, like
it isn't using the correct interrupt, on an XT.

I can confirm that it does work on an AT type machine! Are you using the correct ASI drivers, i.e. the IBM LAN Support Program Drivers? The current version of the Token Ring Packet Driver, unless patched, had difficulties with the older IBM TOKREUI device driver. -- Denis

Well, I was able to get the TR packet driver to work on an IBM AT machine, but still no luck on an identically configured IBM XT. The AT has an IBM TR adapter II, while the XT only has a regular IBM TR adapter. FYI

The packet driver will start, and display: initializing the adapter opening the adapter the mau will click, wait about 15-20 seconds and click again (indicating the adapter is being opened ??) and then the pc will lock up. the XT is the older model (old style keyboard) i have not tried this on an AT or PS/2. i also tried setting stacks=9,512 in my config.sys. I would appreciate ANY help! thanks, Bill Sproule - Networking - Princeton University sproule@idunno.Princeton.EDU sproule@pucc.BITNET 609-258-6089
