NUMBER : P1TH061390U41
SUBJECT : New Revision IBM Token Ring Card
DATE : 6/13/90
OS VERSION : All
REVISION :
SHELL VERSION :
GENERAL INFORMATION : IBM is shipping a new revision 16/4/A Token Ring card
for microchannel machines which give extremely slow performance on NetWare 286
if the new card is installed in the file server. This new card works fine in a
workstation.
The old revision card, which works fine in a 286 server or workstation, is
labeled FRU 16F1144. The new revision card, which takes 3-4 minutes just to
login to the server, is labeled FRU 53F7748.
Novell has developed another Token Ring driver which addresses this speed
problem with the new IBM 16/4/A cards. Just so happens that this new driver
also has TokenTalk abilities (for Macintosh Token Ring cards) as can be seen
when selecting it inside of Netgen.
The new 286 driver will be released as part of a "Token Ring Kit" along with
the NetWare 386 v3.1 release.
