- DATE : 6/13/90

- SHELL VERSION :
-
- GENERAL INFORMATION : IBM is shipping a new revision 16/4/A Token Ring card
- for microchannel machines which give extremely slow performance on NetWare 286
- if the new card is installed in the file server. This new card works fine in a
- workstation.
-
- The old revision card, which works fine in a 286 server or workstation, is
- labeled FRU 16F1144. The new revision card, which takes 3-4 minutes just to
- login to the server, is labeled FRU 53F7748.
-
- Novell has developed another Token Ring driver which addresses this speed
- problem with the new IBM 16/4/A cards. Just so happens that this new driver
- also has TokenTalk abilities (for Macintosh Token Ring cards) as can be seen
- when selecting it inside of Netgen.
-
- The new 286 driver will be released as part of a "Token Ring Kit" along with
- the NetWare 386 v3.1 release.
