| >>I got a question from a partner of ours that is looking for PCI CDDI
>>cards. I thought this was under development. Can anybody tell me
>>whether this is correct? Availability?
Yes, we have FDDI PCI adapters in development for SAS Fiber, DAS Fiber,
and SAS UTP. For more information, contact the product manager (George
Nielsen) at DELNI::G_NIELSEN. By the way "CDDI" is not precise. Our
FDDI adapters adhere to the ANSI TP-PMD standard for running FDDI over
Category 5 UTP cabling. "CDDI" has become (more or less) a marketing
term to describe the ANSI-compliant cards, though previously, "CDDI"
referred to a proprietary implementation.
>>There was also the question of supporting this under MS-Windows and
>>NOVELL. Will there drivers available for these environments?
Absolutely. Current driver plans at FRS include:
OSF/1, OpenVMS AXP, Windows NT 3.5, DOS NDIS 2.0, OS/2 NDIS 2.0,
NetWare SFT III MSL, NetWare ODI Server, and NetWare DOS ODI Client
We're hoping to add more drivers as the product matures.

Sell, sell, sell... :-)
