- The "-w" option only keeps the packet driver from crashing under
- Windows. This means that if Windows is in the wrong state when the
- packet arrives, the driver will simply DROP the packet rather than crash
- Windows.
-
- What you need is a little program called WINPKT which fixes this. Load
- your normal packet, then load WINPKT, then tell your software to use the
- interrupt provided by WINPKT. You'll be glad you did.

- Doesn't KA9Q support the WD8003 directly?
