File Name: RELEASE.TXT Product Name: NI6510-NSDRV-2 Description: NetWare 2.x Server Driver for the InterLan EtherBlaster Version: 5.85 Part Number: 158-0231-00 149-0231-00 SECTION 1 - Overview -------------------- The driver in this directory allows the InterLan EtherBlaster to be used in a file server executing NetWare 2.x (NetWare 286). The driver was written and tested for conformance to the Netware IPX Server Interface specification for NetWare 2.x as specified in the Novell LAN Driver Developer's Guide Volume 1. Version 1.7 of this driver was certified under NetWare 2.15 by the Novell Test Labs (Certification Number L-308, dated January 23, 1990). Version 2.6 of this driver addresses a "slowdown" issue encountered at some sites when the NI6510 received packets greater than 1514 bytes in length. It has been tested for correct operation with NetWare 286 v2.2, and has passed Novell certification tests conducted in the Racal InterLan labs. Version 5.50 of this driver has support for all versions of the InterLan EtherBlaster (including PCnet-ISA+) as well as the NI6510. It has been tested for correct operation with NetWare 286 v2.2, and has passed Novell certification tests conducted in the Racal InterLan labs. Version 5.85 disables the Guaranteed Access Time (GAT) mode in the Intel 823878I System I/O (SIO) chip, which is found in some PCI/ISA PCs. When enabled, this mode can cause a violation of ISA bus timing specification for bus master devices. As a result, the InterLan EtherBlaster is prevented from accessing host memory in a timely manner. GAT mode can be modified on the command line to override the driver default (to turn GAT off). The keywords are GAT=ON (always turns it on), GAT=OFF (always turns it off), and GAT=NONE (does not change the system power on default). This version also supports the XLerator series and Plug and Play. It has passed Novell certification tests conducted in the Racal InterLan labs. Additional information on the completion of Novell's certification tests can be obtained by contacting Racal InterLan Pre-Sales Support at 1-800-LAN-TALK or 508-263-9929, or by contacting Novell, Inc.
