The ISA Ethernet Adapters in 8086/8088 Computers
IBM does not support the use of the ISA Ethernet Adapter's Device
Drivers in 8086- and 8088-based computers.
However, the DOS 001 device driver shipped with the ISA Ethernet
Adapters can be used in 8086- and 8088-based computers.
In addition, the ISA Ethernet Adapters are NE2000-compatible
Ethernet adapters. Therefore, if the network operating system you
are using is compatible with and offers NE2000 device drivers, the
ISA Ethernet Adapters can be used in 8086- and 8088-based
computers with the NE2000 device drivers provided.
Refer to the documentation provided with your network operating
system for information on the drivers that are available to you.
If you are able to use the ISA Ethernet Adapters in an 8086- or
8088-based computer, work through the following steps to
configure the ISA Ethernet Adapters for use.
1
Follow the instructions under "Configuring the Adapter" on
page 16, selecting the option to Display/Change Adapter
Configuration.
2
Change the Novell Configuration parameter to Option O.
3
Save the change and exit the configuration program.
The ISA Ethernet Adapters should now be ready for use with
NE2000 compatible device drivers in an 8086- or 8088-based
environment.
Consult the documentation for your network operating system for
further information.
