- Release notes for 3C603 TokenLink Product Diskette, P/N 3636-05.
-
- This file contains a brief description of each file on the 3C603
- TokenLink product diskette. The reason for this update is to fix
- compatability issues discovered in the IBM PC3270 application
- program. The only file changed was the DLC adapter handler
- 3COMAH.SYS. The TokenLink adapter proms must have part number
- 5613-15 and 5613-16 for 3COMAH.SYS to work properly.
-
- The software on this diskette also makes use of the expanded
- interrupt and DMA capability of the TokenLink adapter. The new
- software supports interrupt numbers 2,3,4,5,10,11,12,14 and 15.
- The default interrupt number is 3. The base I/O addresses remain
- the same, including 300,310,330 and 350. The default base
- address is 300. The DMA channels supported are 0,1,3,5,6,7. DMA
- channel zero has special meaning. In an AT, it means use string
- i/o to move data to/from memory and the adapter. In a 16 bit
- slot, string i/o is used if the DMA channel is set to 0. In an 8
- bit slot, string i/o is used and the DMA channel number is
- ignored. In a PC, DMA channel 0 means use programmed i/o to move
- data to/from memory and the adapter. The default DMA channel is
- 1.
-
- 3C603.EXE - This is the TokenLink diagnostic program.
-
- TOK603.SYS - This is the standard 3+ XNS driver.
-
- SPY603.SYS - This is a special 3+ driver to be used with EPROBE.
- Do not use this driver with standard 3+.
-
- TOK603B.SYS - This is a special version of the 3+ driver to be
- used with either 3+ Open DOS XNS and ESD\Bridge TokenTerm
- products. All token ring stations and servers must use either
- the standard driver or the "B" driver. Mixing the two types
- causes network failures.
-
- 3COMAH.SYS - This is the DLC\LLC adapter handler to use with the
- IBM PC LAN Support software.
-
- 3COMREUI.EXE - This is the DLC\LLC adapter handler to use with
- the IBM NETBEUI program.
-
- CSED.EXE - A CONFIG.SYS file editor used by LANSUPRT.BAT.
-
- LANSUPRT.BAT - This batch file converts a boot diskette
- containing the IBM LAN SUPPORT program configured for token ring
- into a TokenLink boot diskette.
-
- OLIVM24 - This subdirectory contains another set of drivers and a
- diagnostic designed to be used with the OLIVETTI M24 and ATT 6300
- 8086 based computers. The program names are the same, except the
- letter "M" is appended to the base name. These drivers are
- designed only to be used with those computers, and will not
- function on any other computer.
