[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] More packet drivers

nelson@sun.soe (Russ Nelson) (09/05/88)

I am announcing version two of the packet drivers.  New are the WD8003E
driver by Bob Clements (clements@bbn.com if you want to send effusive messages
of thanks, hi) and the NI5010 driver by yours truly, ported from Bill Doster's
(Bill_Doster@um.cc.umich.edu) driver written in C.  All with source, all
freely copyable.

I'm working on a SLIP driver and desperately trying to avoid
reinventing the "async driver" wheel.  There are at least eight (8)
async drivers on simtel20 alone.

FTP: grape.ecs.clarkson.edu [128.153.13.196], /d/files/uploads/drivers.arc
BBS: CUHUG Fido (315) 268-6667, file area 4, drivers.arc
MAIL: archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu.  Send 'help'.  If you have
      problems, send mail to archive-management.  Sending "send ka9q/drivers01"
      and "send ka9q/drivers02" will get you the two parts.
UUCP: sun.soe has no modems.

The READ.ME file follows:

3C501.ASM     Device dependent 3COM 3C501 code.
3C501.COM     Executable for a packet driver for the 3COM 3C501 code.
DEFS.ASM      Definitions and macros.
GENERIC.ASM   Device dependent generic code.
HEAD.ASM      Resident device independent generic code.
MAKEFILE      Makefile.  Uses tlink, can be modified to use link.
NI5010.ASM    Device dependent Interlan NI5010 code.
NI5010.COM    Executable for a packet driver for the Interlan NI5010.
NI5210.ASM    Device dependent MICOM-Interlan NI5210 code.
NI5210.COM    Executable for a packet driver for the MICOM-Interlan NI5210.
