A while ago I posted a request for any information leading the whereabouts
of a driver for a 3C505 16-bit ethernet board from 3COM. In sum: there
ain't any. 3COM doesn't supply one, and the board has such strange
firmware that Interactive didn't make a driver because the demand wasn't
there (many thanks to the Interactive developers who responded).
The board works fine in an Apollo, and works fine also in a DOS
environment using PC/TCP or PC-NFS. It just isn't going to work at all
in ISC 2.2. I'm going to install a Western Digital Ethercard+ 16-bit card
instead so that I can use it in both environments.
