I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with IBM model 30-286
workstations getting connected to the LAN. We are running Advanced
NetWare 286, v.2.15 on an IBM model 80. We are using IBM token-ring
cards on all workstations and we have everything from very old PC/XTs
to PS/2 model 50s and 60s, along with this one model 30-286.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has seen this or anything
similar. Unfortuantely, I only have this one 30-286, so I don't know
if the problem is particular to this workstation or this model in
general. I've run the IBM workstation diagnostics and the token-ring
adapter diagnostics and everything comes out clean.
I seem to remember that IBM had problems with its token ring cards working
in the 30-286. I think this is one of those problems. I think they have
fixed the problem now and you should contact IBM for advice.
