on obtaining the drivers.
-russ
Changes from version 3 to 2.0 of the drivers:
Version numbering now changed. If the skeleton changes, the major version is
incremented and all the minor versions are reset to zero.
**** As a result of the changes to support version 1.08 of the packet driver
**** spec, minor changes had to be made to every driver.
**** As of this writing, the following drivers are untested:
**** ni5010.
**** Please mail to (Russ) nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu if you can verify that
**** these drivers work.
Support for version 1.08 of the packet driver spec included.
Bob Clements' 3c503 driver added. See README.503.
Some comments improved.
BAD_COMMAND checking code fixed.
cld instructions added to ensure that DF=0.
NI5210 sped up slightly -- look at movemem in ni5210.asm for an especially
fast routine to move memory around.
Spurious error condition that caused NCSA Telnet to fail in send_pkt
function removed.
These drivers are available from the Clarkson archive-server as well
as by FTP. If you don't know how to use the archive server, send a
mail message consisting of the word "help" to one of the addresses
given below. For those who can FTP, a self-extracting ZOO archive can
be found on sun.soe.clarkson.edu in pub/ka9q as drivers.exe.
