- Wow .. that's quite a thread!
-
- I have to say that I haven't experienced ANY of the problems that I'm
- hearing!
-
- We have at least 30 Mac clients (SE's, SE/30's, PowerBooks) on our 10bT
- network using Asante EN/SC devices using the 1.25 drivers ... in fact that
- is what I am on NOW. Other than some incopatabilites with some hard drive
- drivers (MicroNet, Hammer especially) ... that can be fixed with new HD
- drivers, we've had very good luck and experience with the Asante EN/SC.
-
- I will be interested however to get the new 4.1/2.0 drivers.
-
- Like others who commented, we have very good lock with the NuBus cards
- from Asante .. and we use the Apple Drivers exclusively.
