- Hello gang - thought I'd share some info for those wrestling with Ebanyan
- and all the NDIS and Packet Driver stuff.
-
- I'm new to the packet driver arena and am no expert, but even after following
- as many messages as I could from all of the wonderful folks out here, I didn't
- see all the info I needed in ONE place - so I offer it here:
-
- Using a new 3Com 3c509 Etherlink III card and the latest 3c509 packet
- drivers available on csus.edu in /pub/banyan/experimental, here is
- how I have the beast configured.
-
- You will need to run PCCOPY and select the Cabletron Ethernet Packet
- Drivers to get the files you need for Vines.
-
- The 3c509.exe diag file comes with the Etherlink III disk, and I rename
- it to diag509 (so it won't conflict with 3c509.com - the packet driver
- file on csus).
-
- My example assumes QEMM as a memory manager. Substitute your favorite
- memory manager wherever appropriate of course.
-
- o Configure the card using the diag - e.g. I/O = 300 and IRQ=10 in my case.
-
- o Reconfigure the memory manager (e.g. qemm) and get rid of all the old
- ARAM parameters needed for the old 3c503 or 8013 cards - no more UMB!!!
-
- o Run 3c509.com and use the 0x60 software interrupt - recommended by FTP
- as the normal packet driver interrupt:
-
- 3c509 0x60
-
- I put it in my AUTOEXEC.BAT - takes only 3280 bytes, so I didn't even try
- to load it high.
-
- o Run BAN /nc (no comm driver load)
- o Run \qemm\loadhi csiban (about 70K)
- o Run \qemm\loadhi redir4 (about 57K)
- o Run login (assumes you need to get to the net for ebanyan)
- o Run ebanyan -m (loads most into Expanded memory, leaves about 27K in
- conventional memory)
-
- I can now run version 2.11 of PCTCP with about 600K of conventional memory
- left and run Win 3.1 with TCP available to all sessions. The 3c509 is
- working great and I don't have to mess with NDIS files! Hope this info
- proves helpful to someone.
