TITLE :INF: Network Adapters Compatible with IBM Token-Ring Adapter
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Network interface cards (NIC) that use the IBM/National Semiconductor
Token Ring Protocol Interface Controller (TROPIC) chip set should be
fully compatible with IBM Token-Ring Adapters and thus compatible with
the IBM Token-Ring Driver that ships with Windows NT.
The following adapters use the TROPIC chip set:
3Com TokenLink
Accton Technology Ring Pair-4/16 T
Asante Technologies TokenPac
Compex TNET-16
D-Link DT-220
D-Link DT-320
D-Link DT-620
IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 EISA Adapter
Klever Computers K1601 MC
Klever Computers K1604
Madge Networks Straight Blue ISA Adapter
Madge Networks Straight Blue ISA + Adapter
Madge Networks Straight Blue MC Adapter
North Hills Electronics ISA Adapter
Plexcom Plexnet 8086
SilCom Technology TR Direct/Blue ISA
Thomas-Conrad Token Ring Adapter 16/4 Model 4043
For additional information concerning compatibility, contact the
manufacturer of the individual adapter.
Listed below is the TROPIC chip set that IBM licensed from National
Semiconductor.
DP8025 Token Ring Interface Controller
DP802511 TROPIC RAM Relocation Register Decoder
DP802512 Upper Memory Decoder
DP802513 Memory MEMCS-16 Signal Decoder
DP802514 TROPIC REEF
DP802515 TROPIC PELE
The DP802514 and DP802515 are Microcode ROMs for the TROPIC Token-Ring
Network Controllers and they feature an interface that is compatible
to DP8025 Interface Controller to allow direct interfacing without the
use of GLUE logic.
