[comp.windows.ms] Having trouble with the new Clarkson drivers

grantk@manta.NOSC.MIL (Kelly J. Grant) (02/02/91)

I just downloaded the drivers from Clarkson,  specifically the drivers.arc
compilation.  I have been running Version 3.2 of the WD8003E driver for
some time, with the NCSA telnet package, and since acquiring PKTINT I
have been using WinQVT/Net [a fairly neat package :-)].  I sometimes would
like to run NCSA while in Windows, but I have been unable, since something
either gets hosed up or the window hangs.

I tried to replace the old driver with the new one, and it didn't seem to find
the ethernet card.  I gave a message about where the driver was going to 
load, but it then printed a usage line and exited.  The old driver had the 
same usage line, and I am not providing the last parameter it mentions.
In fact, I don't know what that parameter even means or how to determine 
its value. Here is my current command line:

wd8003e  0x60 0x2 0x280


I know I need the -w parameter to work within windows.  I am on a Zenith
Z300, EGA, 4 megs of memory, and a Western Digital WD8003E ether card.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.  Either email or post as you see appropriate.

Many thanks.

Kelly
