- TITLE :TC5043 Adapters Require ROM Upgrade
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Thomas Conrad TC5043 series of network adapters are not on the Windows
- NT Hardware Compatibility List, but they can be used as an NE2000 when they
- are in NE2000 mode. The NDIS driver provided with Windows NT does not
- function properly with revision A of this board when it is in NE2000-
- compatibility mode.
-
- Thomas Conrad has an upgraded ROM available for the TC5043 that allows the
- board to operate as NE2000-compatible. Please contact Thomas Conrad
- technical support to obtain this ROM upgrade.
-
- NOTE: There are two versions of the TC5043: one uses SMT (Surface Mount
- Technology) and one uses the standard DIP (Dual Inline Package) technology.
- The SMT boards CANNOT be upgraded because the ROM is not a removable chip.
- The cards that can be upgraded have the ROM chip in a socket on the left
- side of the card, just above center. The ROM has a white sticker on it with
- a number; have this number ready when you call Thomas Conrad to request
- your upgrade.
-
- The TC5043 series of network adapters are manufactured by Thomas Conrad, a
- vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
- regarding these products' performance or reliability.
