1337.0. "ODI OS/2 driver supported?" by CGOOA::CRICK () Mon May 16 1994 23:57

    Do we have a ODI OS/2 client driver for the EISA FDDI controller?  If
    so, is there a pointer to the file.

    No.  Novell hasn't updated their OS/2 ODI client spec in over two years
    and hasn't added FDDI support.  The reason for the lack of interest on
    their part is because they're moving to a 32-bit client strategy where
    the 32-bit ODI server driver will run under NetWare 3/4 as well as DOS,
    OS/2, and Windows NT (just to name a few).
    
    No idea when the 32-bit OS/2 client will become available but expect
    our 32-bit ODI server driver to support it.

    Howdy,
    
    Well Novell has seen the light and we are currently working closely
    with them on developing FDDI suppport for their OS/2 ODI requester
    driver development kit. My hope is to have a field test ready version 
    of driver for the DEFEA available in about 1 month...
