Re: Twinax Card and Win95

["Bleddyn Williams" <bleddyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just set up a BOS card with CA 3.1.2 for Windows 95 with a dell
dimension (I did advise the customer that Ethernet is much simpler even on
a dimension). Using the notes from BOS on installing the adapter handler
from the autoexec.bat, it all seems to work. PC5250 is kicking up an error
message when shut down which it wasn't at first but it does need the latest
fix pack loading on it.

If it carries on for 64 ukp he might as well by a mini 8 port hub and
connect it to his other 7 PC's running Ethernet. 

Thanks Bleddyn

I worked successfully with adapters from BOS in Pentium machines up 
to 166 MHz (never tried with a 200 MHz processor). These adapters 
also don't use an IRQ if run in their native mode. IBM register 
compatible mode is supported as well. Look at http://www.bosusa.com.
