AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN #0803 12-30-92
=============================================================================
EISA SYSTEMS WITH THE RACAL INTERLAN CARD
PROBLEM: The drivers shipped with the RACAL Interlan card, used in the
AST SE system and sold as an option kit for other EISA
systems, do not support either PBurst or ODI capability. The
Burst Mode protocol is a new technology for expediting large
file reads and writes over wide area network links. The ODI
protocol allows multiple protocols to link to one card,
(i.e., IPX and TCP-IP).
CAUSE: The advanced PBurst and ODI capabilities of the RACAL card not
supported by the drivers that were supplied by RACAL and
originally shipped with AST systems up to 12-18-92.
AFFECTED
SYSTEMS: Any system using a RACAL Interlan adapter AST part number
500875-001 or 230214-001.
SOLUTION: Obtain the diskette of drivers released on 12-18-92 using AST
part number 910462-004 release 1.02 from RACAL.
