I bought a machine at an auction a while back. It contained a 16-bit arcnet card bearing the marking CN160A and those dreaded words: "Made In Taiwan R.O.C". most things are marked in fairly straightforward fashion, but I'm having a problem sorting out how to deal with SW1 ... a ten-switch DIP. SW 1-6 are marked i/o; 7-10 are marked mem. Does anyone have info on settings? And does it require a special driver or will netware's stock arcnet driver do it? Any info would be much appreciated.

If it is arcnet, the standard NetWare driver should work (just maybe not as fast as custom drivers would run). As for the DIP settings, there are a couple of shareware diagnostic programs (sorry, I can't remember the exact names, but they contain arcnet in thier name) that would tell you how the card was setup.
