- LANtastic■ AI is designed for use with non-Artisoft network adapters which
- conform to netbios standards. While claiming LANtastic■ AI is compatible with
- the equipment listed in this guide, Artisoft is not responsible for the
- compatibility of any other application(s) or equipment running with
- LANtastic■ networks. All low-level drivers and NetBIOS programs required are
- supplied with LANtastic■ AI, and no other programs are needed, with the
- exception of network adapters using "other" drivers.
-
- The following information is based on in-house testing of LANtastic■ AI.
- If you are not a registered LANtastic■ owner, your questions should be
- directed to our technical sales staff at (602) 293-6363. Any questions or

- SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REFERENCES (con't)
-
- H If using a memory manager, the memory manager must exclude the range of
- RAM memory addresses the adapter card uses. VGA cards may need to be
- set to 8-bit mode, and/or shadow RAM/ROM may need to be disabled to
- avoid memory conflicts.
- I The longer model of the adapter (6.2" vs. 5") is INcompatible with
- LANtastic■
- J MicroChannel adapter - ADF file to configure the PS/2 is supplied by
- the adapter manufacturer.
- K Uses Everex NetBIOS, NET21E.EXE v2.21 or newer
- L Uses Everex NetBIOS, NET23.EXE v2.21 or newer
- M Uses Everex NetBIOS, NET26E.EXE v2.21 or newer
- N Uses TNETBIOS v1.52
- O Uses IBM PC LAN Support program v1.1
- P Uses Invisible Software NetBIOS ROM v2.7A
- Q Uses PC Office NB_1K.EXE or PC Office NB_4K.EXE
- R Uses Performance Technology NetBIOS RIMDRVR.EXE
- S These adapters use a unique third party NetBIOS; two different NetBIOS
- programs can not be run on one cabling structure, therefore these
- adapters can not be mixed with other manufacturer's adapters on the
- same network.
- T DRVR8530.COM, obtainable from Tandy or the Artisoft BBS, and must be
- run prior to running the low level driver, TLINK.EXE.
