Re: 6510 LAN Adapter in 9404 F10?

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sean,
this is not a "LAN Adapter" as you may think, this resource is part of
the FSIOP double size SPD card you have in your production machine.
You can use this instead of a "real" adapter in conjunction with the 5763SA2
licenced program (FSIOP support) and you need to define it as a *BASE
NWS description, then.
But I would rather recommend you get yourself an used adpater of type
2617 (Ethernet 10 MBit) or 2619 (TokenRing 16 MBit, newer model)
or even a 2626 (TokenRing MBit, older model), all will work in an F10 and
are far easier to configure and to operate then a *?/#&% FSIOP ....
In germany used cards of 2619 type are sold round about 300 DEM this is
ca. 150 US $, Ethernet is rather rare, so the price is about 1.000 DEM
which is about 500 US $.

Hope this helps.

Regards from germany, Philipp Rusch
