NEW NETWARE BOOT PROM
FOR SMC'S ARCNET BOARDS
Revision 2.1B of the boot PROM for Novell software and all current and existing
SMC ARCNET boards is now available from SMC. This PROM supports the newer
high-speed machines and features the following five different I/O address and
interrupt settings to avoid conflict with other add-in boards.
Base ROM
Interrupt I/O Address
2 300h CC00h
2 2E0h D000h
2 300h E000h*
3 2F0h C000h**
3 2F0h DC00h**
* Do not use these settings with the IBM AT or compatible machine
** At present, these settings cannot be used with the ARCNET-PC120 (RX-2).
The new PROM has been thoroughly tested by Novell (call for the attached Remote
Program Load Report).
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
