352.0. "Have you gotten a DE500 to work with IRIS??" by DAVIDF::FOX (David B. Fox -- DTN 285-2091) Mon Mar 17 1997 14:35

    Wondering if anyone has tried using a DE500 with IRIS.  If so, can you
    tell me how you set it up?  I'm assuming that the only support is
    through the NDIS2 driver.  I'm also doing this on a Windows '95 system
    running IRIS through an ICON in standalone DOS mode.
    
    	Thanks!

I'm in the middle of writing a driver for one of the de500 series cards.  I
don't 
know when I'll be ready to release it, as there are many issues with this
card.

Maybe you can help me out:

    do you want it to autosense the line speed?  User set line  speed?  BOTH?

Lemme know

352.2Some answers...DAVIDF::FOXDavid B. Fox -- DTN 285-2091Tue Mar 18 1997 11:3318
    Travis,
    	I did see your previous posts... thought I might be able to get it
    running with the NDIS drivers.  Thus my question.
    
    	As to your question, I think it is entirely fine to ask the user
    what they want.  Especially since this is the first release.  There are
    issues with getting onto an ethernet at the wrong speed.
    
    	I think it would be desirable to have autosense work but for
    simplicity, I'd ask the user what speed the network is.  That would
    make life easier for you in the short term.
    
    	Any idea when you'll have something to play with?  I'm doing lots
    of testing with Fast Ethernet these days and IRIS would sure be
    helpful!
    
    	Regards,
    		David
