- Is there a Crynwr packet driver available for the
- Western Digital 8003 EtherPlus Elite?
-
- Sure, the wd8003e driver works for many people.
-
- I have tried the standard WD8003E driver without much success, although
- it does appear to read the MAC address correctly. The WD docs mention
- significant differences with the 83C690 chip and the old software is
- not compatible.
-
- Ahhh, yes. You're one of the ones for whom the driver doesn't work.
- SMC is concerned about this driver not working for some people, and
- they sent me an Elite 16 to make it work. Well, on my three
- machines, it does work. Hard to fix it if it isn't broken.
-
- If someone would like to work with me to get this fixed, I'd
- appreciate it. I'd especially like to hear from someone in the
- Ottawa, Canada area who is having trouble. I'm close enough to
- easily come to your site to work on it.
